What Could Backfire?
After yesterday's post below, I was expecting the Chron to pen its own piece on the huge victory for Democrats being a blessing in disguise for Republicans. And I saw a headline with "backfire" and at first glance, I thought it was it. But actually:
Nasty rhetoric could backfire on bill's foes
Racial epithets, anti-gay slurs, GOP rep's 'baby killer' shout on the floor of Congress could lead to political damage for those who oppose the health care reform plan.
Let me reprint that for you: Racial epithets, anti-gay slurs, GOP rep's 'baby killer' shout on the floor of Congress could lead to political damage for those who oppose the health care reform plan.
Could? Could!?! If a Republican were to chop a puppy with a chainsaw on the Speaker of the House's desk, the Chronicle would speculate: mmmh, this could lead to political damage. Maybe. Then the Chron would pause to consider. Naah...not really. Not for a Republican.
