“If they [Republicans] think it’s OK to raise taxes for the embattled middle class. . . if we don’t give more money to millionaires, it really is time for people to take up pitchforks” - Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.
On the Cape it’s not pitchforks, it’s torches.
The Cape Cod Times has the story of two recent arsons, one in Barnstable and another in Sandwich. “In both cases, the arsonist left a calling card, the message, ‘f--- the rich’ at the scene,” the Times reports.
One house was almost destroyed. At the other, a propane tank had been cut off the gas grill of a nearby home, placed in the basement and opened - releasing the gas. Upstairs was a small fire, apparently designed to ignite the propane gas. Fortunately the would-be bomber has the same level of explosives expertise as the average al-Qaeda member. Propane is heavier than air, and the would-be bomb never ignited.
But it still sent a signal, which is that at least one person on the Cape is getting Team Obama’s message loud and clear.
I realize that the “bleep-the-rich” signs could be bogus, designed to mislead investigators from some more mundane motive like insurance money. And I am also familiar with the work of leftist eco-terror groups that torch new construction and spike trees in hopes of slowing development.
But just as it’s possible that the next suicide bomber to hit Sweden may be a Lutheran named Lars and not a Muslim named Muhammad, the broader storyline would still be the same. And the storyline of the Obama era has been a barrage of unbridled class warfare.
President Barack Obama refers to those venal Americans known as “the rich” almost as often as he talks about himself (which is saying a lot). During ...

Now here’s some HATE the news media can get behind!
More tolerance from the left
Obviously the behavior of the Greeks and Spanish is starting here. The Van Jones types, of which Obama and Michelle are aligned, will be delighted so see the torching crowds emerge in the USA.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the perp is a trust fund baby, trying to resolve his/her liberal self loathing.
obama and the dims ARE THE BIGGEST HATE CRIME OF ALL!
LLS
We are all rich compared with most of the people in the world, even those that did the torching are filthy rich in comparison. Maybe they should torch themselves in protest.
Its all about envy, and not one bit about wealth.
In addition to being an incompetent arsonist, the person responsible is also an incompetent political terrorist. Cape Cod is the top vacation spot for modern elitist liberals.
All he (they) is doing is forcing liberals to realize what a bunch of violent loons their fellow liberals really are.
Now who is it who’s inspiring hate and violence in those with this perspective? It’s not Beck, or Rush or Christian theology, but since the MSM must always assign blame for this kind of behavior, who will they target? Oh, wasn’t it Dear Leader who said the rich have made enough money and it should be redistributed? Wasn’t it?
Probably some 14 year old punk wearing a Che Guevarra shirt he bought at Hot Topic.
Their motives are entirely different than their words - but thats a common theme among 'progressives'.
Barrack and Michelle are in for a big surprise when the “villagers” figure out how rich the obamas are.
Actually, that would be Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket (both islands, off the coast). That's where The Beautiful People tend to go. The Cape proper attracts all kinds and also is home to some of the more "conservative" towns in the state.
My wife’s nephew became a father about 6 years ago. He named his son Che.
Claire McCaskill said it was time to take up the pitchforks. I wonder if she will apologize or in any way correct her inflammatory language.
Bet you never see a member of the media house burn.
The classic bigoted stereotype of "The Jews" is the same bigoted stereotype of a "rich capitalists" and vise versa....
The hate propaganda rhetoric is totally interchangeable...
When it comes to hate propaganda and the actions they take, the hard left and Nazi are kissing cousins always swapping spit
Do we realize that poor guys don’t hire anyone?
