Nothing to fear except voting itself

[sigma7]

If you didn't think the partisan rhetoric could devolve from threats of the terrorist boogeyman, well, now it's sunk to outright begging.

Now, one other thing here. You know what? I think some of you need to stay home on Election Day. What? That's right. I think -- I know it sounds terrible. I don't want everybody to vote; I want well-informed people to vote. You know what we're gonna do on our man-on-the-street segment tomorrow, man-on-the-street Thursday? I'm gonna have three pictures -- Nancy Pelosi, Dennis Hastert, and Harry Reid -- and I'm gonna ask people if they know who they are. And you know what I bet? I bet you nobody knows. But I think -- look, I think for some, I think you've gotta accept -- and I want you to stay home on Election Day because you must accept the fact that your party has abandoned you. You've gotta accept the fact that your vote doesn't matter anyway. So all you Democrats, stay home.

I am both appalled and cheered by this. The Republicans must be getting pretty desperate to stoop to that.

Of course, one must wonder if any Democrats actually listen to his show. It doesn't really make a lot of sense, considering they must know their audience are fellow right-wing conservatives. Encouraging them to get out and vote would make sense; encouraging people who don't listen and couldn't care less about you to not do so is just ... bizarre. And I bet random Republicans would be just as unable to identify the three pictures as democrats, not that I'm sure what that has to do with whether we should willingly give up our guaranteed rights to vote or not.
