Tea Party Candidate Wants to Hang Her Opponent

The tea baggers deny that they encourage violence. At this campaign rally in Asotin, Washington one of the speakers made the statement that suggested one of the Senators from the state of Washington should be hung. Now, I'm for a good political contest as much as the next person, but saying your opponent should be hung is just plain wrong, especially when our country has its first African American President.

I would hope that others in the Tea Party movement would come out and denounce this despicable statement and that leaders in the Republican party will also denounce the violence that is encouraged by this idiotic person and her statement. The quote from the speaker is posted below.

"How many of you have watched the movie Lonesome Dove?," asked one speaker from the podium. "What happened to Jake when he ran with the wrong crowd? What happened to Jake when he ran with the wrong crowd. He got hung. And that's what I want to do with Patty Murray."

Competitive politics is one thing, inciting violence against one's opponent is a despicable act that needs to be called out in the strongest terms possible. I challenge my conservative readers to make their comments denouncing this king of speech.
