Joan Walsh on Conservatives' Full-On Meltdown

From Joan Walsh's mouth to God's ears (about the rest of us finally getting something done as the haters turn on each other):

The modest course-correction represented by the election of Barack Obama, corporate centrist — albeit a black corporate centrist – unleashed the hounds of hate, who were used by said grifters [i.e., Dick Armey, Wayne LaPierre, and Dana Loesch] to impede the country’s progress for four years. Now, as the haters begin to turn on one another, maybe the rest of us can try to get something done, on issues ranging from gun control to the so-called "fiscal cliff" to income inequality. You can’t negotiate with gun-empowered extortionists; you have to stand up to them.
