"Baby killer" shouter steps forward, highlights internal GOP dilemma - Yahoo! News
But the "Baby killer!" furor highlights a far more serious, long-term political dilemma for the Republicans: how to appear to be a respectable party capable of governing while also providing political shelter for the highly motivated, though vocally disruptive, protest wing of the party associated with the Tea Party movement. While many commentators are forecasting trouble ahead for Democrats identified with the health care bill, the GOP faces some major issues of its own.
Just look at the past weekend: Thousands of Tea Party protesters descended on Washington in an attempt to "kill the bill." It was an impressive turnout for a quickly organized protestbut coverage of the event soon was dominated by reports that some demonstrators had hurled racial and homophobic epithets at Democratic lawmakers as they entered the Capitol.
How can anyone take the Republicans seriously while they repeatedly surrender to right wing hate rhetoric?
The GOP is in lockstep with the Tea Baggers. They have NO desire to even APPEAR respectable. Luckily, their shenanigans over the weekend were caught on video and will make some very nice campaign ads.
