Giddy?! You think I'm giddy?!?!
I'm fucking mad as hell. That's what I am. For months you people labeled me, Congresswoman Giffords, the President of the United States, and just about everyone else who dared to disagree with dearest Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck as "socialists" or "people that hate America" or people that "hate the Constitution and all it stands for". And the Right was warned TIME AND FUCKING TIME AGAIN -- that while your intentions might not be violent, while your language might not be meant to rile up violence, while you may not have *wanted* someone to harm Congresswoman Giffords -- you failed to realize that there are crazy lunatics out there. And those crazy lunatics were more than willing to take your words and run with them.
You think I'm fucking giddy?!?!
I can't go into my in-laws home without having my President called the 'n' word. Without being called a socialist myself. Without having to be told that I somehow want them to pay for a black kid to sit on welfare and do drugs. That the Obama Administration is somehow using my fucking XBOX 360 Kinect to spy on me. That every Arab in this country, citizen or not, is a terrorist.
The Professional Right has made the people that were once center-right (which I'm willing to admit this country once was) into far right lunatics. And they've made people that were once far right lunatics into outright killing machines.
You think I'm giddy?! No, my friend. Far from giddy. I'm pissed.
