Latest Republican political tactic:

Sending amateur thugs to disrupt dissenting political meetings and push women around.

No joke.

Reported by "Juanita", of The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon. Also picked up by DailyKos, Wonkette and others.

Let's call this what it is. They're brownshirts, a la Adolf Hitler. Amateur thugs incited to go beat up dissenters and disrupt the activities of opposing political groups. The Republican party is quite openly adopting the tactics of the Nazi Party, and Americans have no one but themselves to blame if they fail to get the hint.

It remains to be seen whether the local prosecutor will file charges and whether the police will follow through on them.
