You may have seen the story of John Fisher, a Democratic candidate for the Michigan House of Representatives, whose 91 year-old mother is in hospice care with congestive heart failure. The Michigan Rethuglican Party sent out a mailer blasting Fisher's support of "Obamacare" and encouraged recipients of the mailer to call Fisher's home number and harass him. What they got was the number of his bedridden mother. Fisher's rebuke should be tattooed on the foreheads of the Rethugs who thought up this nasty idea:
"To direct people to call a suffering woman who deserves peace and comfort is beyond the pale. Their lack of ethics and contempt for personal privacy is just another reason for people to question what – or better, who – the Republican Party stands for, so that they can make a wise decision at the ballot box on Nov. 4."It's why we call them "Rethugs," after all.
