Indiana official who called for "live ammunition" to be used in Wisconsin is fired

By Michael J.W. Stickings

So... did you hear about the conservative Indiana deputy attorney general who tweeted over the weekend that the police should "[u]se live ammunition" against the protesters in Egypt Bahrain Libya Wisconsin?

His name is Jeff Cox. And he's deservedly been fired.

As frightening as this is, it's somewhat refreshing when conservatives are this truly open about what they really believe and what they're really all about.

Like comparing environmentalists to Nazis and Osama bin Laden, referring to union members as "brownshirts," defending Indianapolis police for beating up a black kid, calling for killing and annihilation in Afghanistan as the only "sensible policy," etc.

Thanks, Jeff, you bloodthirsty fascist! 

Mother Jones has more.
