As my MSNBC colleague Steve Benen wrote Monday, the right-wing efforts to politicize Easter were clumsy and unnecessary. Trans Day of Visibility has been celebrated on March 31 since its creation in 2009, whereas Easter does not have a fixed date.

But there’s more bad news for those set on making such bad faith criticisms: Next year Easter will fall on April 20, a hallowed day in stoner culture.

Granted, it’s unlikely that the White House — no matter who occupies it after the election — will be issuing an official proclamation commemorating 4/20 as a “high” holiday alongside Easter. But when there’s a will to manufacture outrage, there’s a way.

The left kould easily turn this around on them. 20 April was Hitler's birthday.

Though all options have listed “Strongly Disagree” as way higher than “Strongly Agree”, the fact that the Republicans part has shown the “Strongly Agree” vote to be higher than that of the other groups is telling me that the number of republicans who think violence is the way is still big in number, and that these people (not all republicans, though) aren’t thinking well.

Not a surprise to me, really.

What I really wonder, is what those numbers would look like in 1974. I'd bet the number of 'strongly agree' would be well under five percent instead of hovering around 1 in 5 Americans.
