Going for the pitchfork and torches vote-

Wesley Donehue, who used to brag about how his Political Net News was the only aggregator to include SC liberal blogs, is pissing away his credibility by the day, at least outside the world of SC political consultants. Not only are liberal blogs rarely seen any more, PNN's shilling for Senator Fussbudget- a Donehue company re-election client-has reached the point where PNN is quoting itself with links to DeMint's campaign site, which is run by Donehue's company.

But what's disturbing is what they are quoting:

DeMint: Americans will ‘take to the street’ on healthcare

August 3rd, 2009

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who said healthcare could be President Obama’s Waterloo, said Sunday he thinks Americans will “take to the street” to protest Democratic-led healthcare reform in August.

“What’s going to happen is, you’re going to see Americans take to the street in August, and go to their congressmen’s office, and they’re going to go to town halls, and I think they’re going to let congressmen and senators know that they need to keep their hands off their health care,” DeMint said on Fox News Sunday.

Two weeks ago, Democrats jumped on DeMint’s claim that stopping healthcare would be akin to Waterloo, renewing accusations that Republicans want the country to fail. President Obama even mentioned DeMint’s comments in a prime time press conference.

On Sunday, DeMint warned the Democratic plan would lead to a single-payer system akin to healthcare plans in Europe and Canada.

Americans, said DeMint, “know it’s going to cut Medicare. They know it’s going to raise taxes on the small businesses that create jobs. And they know it’s going to eliminate jobs across the country.”

Republicans have cast a surtax on wealthiest Americans, a proposal from House Ways and Means Committee chairman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.), as a job-killer that disproportionately impacts small business owners.

(Who knew the Lawn Jockey Caucusers were for a surtax as well? Proofread, Mr Donehue, proofread.)

More to the point: as the news is full of angry, Bible-waving, Palin-campaign-rally like mobs shouting down rational, two-sided discourse in congressional town meetings, you gotta wonder if DeMint and his Tech Guy realize they are playing with matches? What exactly does "take to the streets" mean in the context of a so far cakewalk re-election campaign?

Shouting"fire" in a crowded theater isn't the same as partying hard all night and absolving it all in Sunday School.
