Conservatives Protest Snowe's Finance Committee Vote By Sending Her... Rock Salt?

So, just in case you were sprawled under a heavy rock, yesterday, chillaxing, the exciting health care reform news is that Senator Olympia Snowe -- the most important senator ever -- has temporarily lent her nominal support to a rather weak health care reform bill that health care industry lobbyists purchased from Senator Max Baucus.

But Snowe's temporary support allows proponents of the bill to claim they won a tiny sprinkling of bipartisanship sauce, the most precious substance in David Broder's Washington. And, via Wonkette, that has inspired RedState's most prolific anger-blogger, Erick Son-of-Erick, to take action! Not very well thought-out action:

Olympia Snowe has sold out the country. Having been banished to our world after Aslan chased her out of Narnia, Snowe is intent on corrupting this place too.

So we should melt her.

What melts snow?

Ooh! Let me guess! Fresh dog urine? Baby dragons? The Earth's natural process of sublimation?

Rock salt.

I'm going to ship this 5 pound bag of rock salt to her office in Maine. It's only $3.00. You should join me.

Uhm.. .Olympia Snowe is from Maine. Wouldn't this snow-melting gift be perceived as useful, if not perceived as, say, anthrax?

Anyway, if you'd like to really stick it to Olympia Snowe, send her the other crucial ingredients for making ice cream by clicking here, here, and here.

Good grief. Any white powdery substance that arrives at a legislator's office makes extra work for security personnel who then have to ensure that it's NOT anthrax, or something else dangerous or illegal.

What kind of b000z000s are these dementoes of Rightwingnuttia? Don't they have anything better to do with their time than incite their 100ny myrmidons to act out in this way? What if some one or another of them, more deeemented than the rest, decides to use some other, more dangerous ingredient? Do these people *think*?

That makes less sense than the wingnuts usually make. Does it still count as a political "statement" if no one knows what you are talking about?

Handy. In a few weeks she'll need it on her driveway.

IMHO, this is a christian code word thing...they are cursing her, turning her into a a pillar of salt...
This is one of their fairy tale stories found in their byebull that they keep changing to suit their purpose.

'Rock-salt' ??? Narnia ???
This GOP-ster spends too much time
in 'fantasy-land'. The entire GOP must
have been reading that book while
Bush was ruining the country-

Olympia - I have seen you vote your conscience more than once rather than your party line and an I applaud you for that. If the heat gets too great, we will wlecome you into the democratic party.

Sounds like something a grade school kid would do.

[FdeBear]

How stupid.

[springsm]

My gosh these people are ugly. I wonder how O. Snowe likes representing with all her heart, these hateful and mean people (children in the sandbox)...the same with L. Graham...what dispicable childish moronic immature people.

How come the right responds to everything as if they were still in Jr. High?

She can always put it in hot water and soak her feet at the end of a tough day...

You can always tell when McCain lies. HE looks like he doesn't believe it himself!!!

Maine Republicans are mostly moderate and sensible. They're not the rabid idiots found to the south.
