From Salon.com: “Ugly outbursts from GOP debate audiences threaten to make the party’s image problem even worse.” The Republicans have been on a downward spiral for years, but the coagulation of the worst of them into the Tea Party has just made them the party of hate, period. Hate for soldiers who want to serve their country, hate for people who can’t afford health insurance, hate for communal civilization (read, “taxes”), hate for anyone different — gay, black, Muslim — and joy at state-sanctioned murder. What charmers.
