Liberals detail plans to disrupt inauguration

Over the weekend, I descended into the inner circle of hell -- also known as the Eschaton comments section -- for some undercover reporting. Iit's pretty scary, especially when the ultra-left-wing wackos start discussing things like assassinating the president and murdering his supporters:

"I may watch the festivities, if only not to miss the chance to applaud the appearance of the long-awaited, desperately needed dime-sized hole..." Would that it were so! Hopefully the size of a grapefruit on the exit...

"will somebody PLEASE start killing these people? it's really all they understand."

That's pretty disturbing stuff. The commenters also offer the following protest ideas, all with the aim of furthering the civil discourse of ideas:

  • Occupying all the portable toilets so that they cannot be used.
  • Throwing rotten meat, eggs and vegetables at Bush supporters. (I thought these folks disapproved of meat.)
  • Jackhammering streets around the Capitol.
  • Urinating on bushes in parks. Get it?
  • Egging the presidential limousine.
Then HoneyBearKelly offers this bizarre protest idea:

Somebody on Al Franken's blog suggested we not buy gasoline on Jan. 20. That's a good idea. Now tell 3 people or post the idea on 3 blogs.

I'm somewhat comforted by the fact that these folks are way too incompetent to pull off an assassination. But the discussion of it is troubling nonetheless.
