Thugs By Any Other Name

The blogger P M Carpenter correctly identifies Republican behaviour of the past three years as totally what it is ... despicable.

He's got a name for these people too:-

These people are thugs. They are not politicians, they are not honest advocates, they are not journalists, and in general they most certainly are not conservatives in any traditional sense of the word. They are at best pseudoconservatives of the chronically pestilential variety.

Couldn't have said it better, myself.
