"Faggot, nigger, baby killer"

These are the words thrown at Congressmen of the United States by Tea Party activists on the day of the health care vote. This is what was encouraged by Republicans from the balconies of the Capitol with hand lettered signs, words actually spoken in the chamber.

Republicans could have helped craft a bill that included their principles, brought more accountability, insisted on limitations to malpractice, increased competition, provided rationale instead of irrationality. Instead, they decided to vilify and destroy.

This is the new language of the Republican party.
