And sore losers, too, appar­ently. And the elec­tion hasn’t even hap­pened yet.

DENVER (AP) — Democratic Party offi­cials say a sec­ond brick has been thrown through a win­dow at Demo­c­ra­tic Party head­quar­ters in Den­ver. Spokesman Matt Far­rauto says the brick had the word “mav­er­ick” writ­ten on it.

It’s sad, really, that reac­tions like this (not to men­tion cries of “trai­tor!” and “kill him!” when Obama is men­tioned at McCain ral­lies) is what passes for Repub­li­can “Joe Six-​pack” com­men­tary. It’s not sur­pris­ing, but it is sad. It’s not sur­pris­ing because it’s become increas­ingly obvi­ous over the last decade or so that if you’re the kind of per­son who might throw a brick or drink any­thing that comes in a six-​pack, you have absolutely no busi­ness being a Repub­li­can in the first place. The cog­ni­tive dis­so­nance of any­one mak­ing under a mil­lion dol­lars a year who con­sid­ers them­selves a proud mem­ber of the GOP must be nearly crippling.

News­flash for the anony­mous brick thrower: John McCain and Sarah Palin don’t give a toasted damn about you. You’re noth­ing more than igno­rant can­non fod­der for their big money back­ers. Come to the Democ­rats. We’ll not only wel­come you with open arms, but we’ll actu­ally work for your own best inter­est. Think about it.
