Thugs?

Listening to NBC news tonight, I heard Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky make a reference to "liberal thugs." I thought we were a bunch of wimps! But then, it's election year and no charge is too ludicrous.

I don't recall that it was liberals who disrupted Congressmen's town meetings back in 2009 and 2010, shouting and refusing to stop. It wasn't a liberal years ago who called federal law enforcement agents "jack-booted thugs."

It kind of reminds me of a short scene in the musical "Cabaret," in which a bemused German, pondering Nazi propaganda says, "If all the Jews are bankers, how can they all also be Communists?" And another German says, "If they  can't get us one way, they try another."
