Amidst the many high-profile examples of right-wing hate being directed at Democratic members of Congress, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) has decided to speak out. After excusing even the most egregious racist and homophobic slurs, property destruction, and death threats directed at his Democratic colleagues, Rep. Nunes decided that he had not seen enough violence yet. He is now comparing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to Saddam Hussein.

With such terrible judgment on display from elected Republicans, is it any wonder that their teabagger base is acting up? Comparing Speaker Pelosi to infamous dictators seems like a great way to incite additional violence if that is what one is attempting to do.
