Teabaggers' Simulated Lynching Nixed

Nigel Coleman, chairman of the Danville Tea Party, expresses frustration over effigy burning ban. Probably.

Virginia Tea Party leader Nigel Coleman has canceled his group’s plan to burn Pelosi and Dem Rep. Tom Perriello in effigy to protest the health care plan after the property owner hosting the rally objected.

Coleman said he was upset that people had gotten the wrong idea about his plan. "I’m disappointed that the story got out of hand and people misinterpreted [it]. They made people believe that we were committing an act of violence." OMG! How could anyone interpret the simulated lynching and burning of Nancy Pelosi as anything but a peaceable, friendly gesture? Violence, shmiolence.

So what's the difference between an amoral, hatemongering Republican and an amoral, hatemongering teabagging "Libertarian"? About 150 IQ points even further south of protoplasmic I'd guess.
