Can I just say how frightening I find the Republican convention?

Open religious hatred and chants of "USA" that sound angry rather than proud. I am sincerely, sincerely, completely creeped the fuck out by this. I wish I didn't think it sounded high strung when I say I feel unsafe listening to this shit.

Yeah.

Did you hear Mitt Romney say "radical Islam is evil"? Freaked me out. Everoyne cheered. And I think they would have even if he hadn't said "radical"

I did, but what freaked me out even more was Rudy's comment about Islamic Terrorism.

This whole thing is scaring the shit out of me.

I can't begin to imagine what it's like to be Muslim and living here now. The hardcore Republicans don't like people like either of us, but they also have a specific enemy group that they've decided is evil with the big E, and that's really scary stuff.

I turned to my friend D who was watching with me and said "Imagine how the muslims in the audience feel" and then in unison we said "Oh wait, there aren't any!"

*$%@ scary doesn't even cover it.
