Love to watch them eat their own


Don't get me wrong, Dems often disagree, but it isn't "go for the throat" disagreement, usually. Its much more refined than that.

[Update below]

This from True Blue Liberal:
A day after the Democratic sweep of the midterm elections, Woodbury County Republican Chairman Steve Salem had harsh words for his own party, lambasting the influence of the conservative Christian right wing.

Salem said he coined a new phase: “You’ve heard of IslamaFascists — I think we now have Christian fascists. What is the definition of a fascist? Not only do they want to beat you, but they want to destroy you in the process.”

Salem said “if things keep going the way things are going locally and statewide, it is going to be more and more difficult for Republicans to recruit candidates. We have elements of the party who are moral absolutists, who take the approach that if you don’t take my position every step of the way, not only will I not support you, but I will destroy you.”

And, children please note we have a new term we can throw around like confetti. He coined it He thought he coined it and we'll take it: Christian fascists.

[Update] The term Christian fascist was actually coined by George E Lowe in his book published in 2000 titled It Can Happen Here: A Fascist Christian America.
