What happened to MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry is terrifying

[RockaFowler]

I'm glad she's OK, but this is a really scary story

Monday night I was sitting in a hotel lobby in downtown Des Moines with my back to a wall of windows, my eyes fixed on the TV, my attention wholly focused on early caucus results. I didn't notice until he was standing right next to me, much closer than is ordinary or comfortable. When he started he speaking it was like he was picking up in the middle of sentence, finishing a conversation we had begun earlier, but I couldn't remember ever meeting him.

"...So what is it that you teach?"

"I am a professor of political science."

"My wife is a professor of communications."

"Does she teach here in Iowa?"

"What I want to know is how you got credentialed to be on MSNBC."

I am not sure if it is how he spat the word credentialed, or if it is how he took another half step toward me, or if it is how he didn't respond to my question, but the hairs on my arm stood on end. I ignored it. Told myself everything was ok.

"Well. It is not exactly a credential..." I began.

"But why you? Why would they pick you?"

6. The white supremacists feel increasingly emboldened. The Feds should have crushed the militia

at Bundy's ranch, put those who pointed their weapons at the BLM in jail, put those who threatened federal agents in jail.

By not doing that they allowed the militias to grow stronger, which caused Malheur.

The Republican party has embraced full throated racists, and made that 'vision' main stream. It is going to be hard to quash it, but it has to be quashed.

7. Hope the security cameras got a good picture

Republican creeps need to know there will be consequences for their aggresion.
