The opinion essay of 22 December threatened physical violence by Democrats. Watch out because they are coming with pitchforks, batons and guns! But if you examine his evidence you will see Senator McCaskill talking about fighting for fair taxes for the middle classes. Nobody is going to get hurt because her talk about fighting doesn’t mean physical violence. It’s a METAPHOR. Does he really think that middle class Democrats will grab pitchforks from the Agrirama to rout the Tea Party?
