They "targeted" themselves.
If you spew hate regularly it poisons the body. This is a known medical fact. I could explain it in depth and detail, but will spare everyone the wonderful details. That's why its so very important to remain on equilibrium.
I got a good kick out of your comment about me and Tom "being afraid of our own shadows" - especially when you regulary espouse this paranoid stuff - persecuting your favorite catchall group (conservatives) for everything "bad" that happens in the world! Your fears allow you to be easily manipulated/controlled by any person or group who plays to them and reinforces them and what's worse this makes YOU more dangerous to the innocents around you.
