Did McCaskill Call For Violence?

This is what Rush had to say:
Story #4: McCaskill Encourages Class-Envy Pitchfork Violence

RUSH: From the same Roll Call article: Claire McCaskill, Senator, Missouri, "likewise lambasted Republicans, accusing them of putting the wealthy ahead of the middle class and warning that if Republicans win the debate over tax cuts 'it really is time to take up pitchforks.'" What does that even mean? Who is going to pick up the pitchforks? The left? No. The middle class and the poor. If the rich get tax cuts, that's time for the pitchforks to come out. That's time for the Robin Hood guys to ram the castle. That's what she means, but they're gonna have to take it for them. She's calling for violence. I mean, the pitchforks? What do you do with a pitchfork? Stick people with it. Where's Bill Clinton when you need him?

The Republicans are all for tax cuts for everybody, so if they "win the debate" all that means is that the wealthy continue to have their tax cuts. Which of course will mean they'll go out and spend some money and get the economy rolling.

It doesn't mean that the middle class wont' get their tax cuts extended, so why the need for violence?
