Extremists have taken over the Republican Party. They’ve deluded themselves into thinking they’re oppressed. And they’re armed. They’re being manipulated by people like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.
To be clear: Our dispute is not with the conservatives who have a legitimate disagreement about the size and scope of government. If that’s how they feel, fine. We won the election, so a majority of the American people agree with us. But if they want to have an honest debate about what government should and shouldn’t do, that’s fair game.
But there is an element that threatens violence. That’s our topic on this week’s Partisan Gridlock. Listen here.

I managed (unfortunately or otherwise as it turns out) to catch the closing 15 minutes of your show today, 10/18/09.
I don’t know if I have ever heard a more strident hateful person in my life than you as you presented yourself today. Well, I guess you tie with the man who tags himself Larry Winters, not having guts enough to name himself as he is.
Then I get home and find this: http://www.pjtv.com/v/2343 on my e-mail.
Take a look. I know you won’t like it and are very unlikely to watch it all the way through, but there is your armed man who so severely threatens your president.
A black man that disagrees with Obama, but as is said, that just doesn’t fit the narrative so it can be ignored, just as Gus Savage. Chicago congressman, was given a pass when he said, “blacks can’t be racist.”
Oh, and BTW, your own radical black feminist agitator of yore named something like Atachi Aziz agreed with dear old Gus when questioned about it.
Yep every one opposes Obama because he is black, not because his only qualification is being black. As a white man with his ideas and experience, he scores less than double digits in the Iowa caucus and his campaign is DOA. What is left but blackness? Only “useful fools” and ignorant youth would go along with an Obama to advance socialism.
You Geoff, with your raging dishonesty and looney ideas about making us all get in your line,or else, is why there is a revolution going on.
The last lady to talk to you addressed her opposition to you and Obama and you stated you didn’t care, that you would drag us all into your future regardless. How are you gonna do that, Geoffy? Vietnamese style re-education camps, or just put us to death aka Nazi programs?
I feel no responsibility for your heathcare and I will never obligate you to concern yourself over mine.
Obama is a disaster.
I listened to your show for the first time yesterday afternoon and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately , the wacko GOPer’s and FUD mongers are a sick part of America’s free speech rights. I can immediately tell the IQ level of people simply with listening to them light up when any FOX disinformation entertain host’s name is mentioned .. It is the same feeling I get when I see a woman with tattoos pointing to her ass crack.
I’ve decided to refer to the recent DC Teabaggers get together as “White Men Gone Mad” .. soon to be sold on late night TV as comedy entertainment video. That is really all they are good for.
