NH GOP Chair Suggests Republicans Drown Democrats

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/push-their-heads-under-the-water-until-they-cannot-breathe

As the end of an election cycle nears, it’s not uncommon for emotions to run high among those in the political arena. The combination of excitement and anxiety leads to frayed nerves and occasional lapses in judgment.

The result is predictable: partisans who use language they probably shouldn’t. Take this report, for example, published this morning by New Hampshire Public Radio.
If you are seeking nuance or restraint, you won’t find it at a get-out-the-vote rally on the Sunday before a tight election.

Here’s State GOP chairman Jennifer Horn last night in Manchester:

“This is our time. We need to crush it. We need to grab it, run with it, push their heads under over and over again until they cannot breathe anymore, until the elections are over Tuesday night.”
How charming.
