The Modern Brown Shirts

Rand Paul, whose supporters knocked a woman to the ground and stomped on her.

Eric Cantor, who used the cops as a goon squad to kick people out of a public event.

Joe Miller (an admitted liar, lawbreaker and idiot), who had his private goons, who happened to be active-duty soldiers, handcuff and detain a reporter who was trying to ask inconvenient questions.

Christine O'Donnell, whose campaign manager threatened to "crush" a local radio station if it put video of an interview with O'Donnell up on a web site.

Republicans talk a good game about freedom and liberty. But it those are just worship words to Republicans, they don't believe in things such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom to peaceably assemble or, for that matter, free elections.
