My first thought was the Joe the Plumber treatment as well. But this one could backfire. I can only speak for Californians, brush fire country, but we LOVE our firefighters. When a piece of filth arsonist killed 5 of them locally, the jury had no problem coming back with the death penalty, I don’t recall a single bleat out of the local libs about it.
Start tearing up a firefighter & expect a hell of a pushback. Most people appreciate firefighters in a very deep way.
The MSM will aid and abet the process of painting these guys (and R’s) as racists, leading into Monday’s hearings. However, I’m not sure this will be a huge effort because they know that we’re going to have Sotomayor on the SCOTUS. It’s a given.
