John Hawkins of Right Wing News launches a project to educate GOP Senators who trash the conservative base. You know what they say about payback.

Nutroots bloggers scoffed at the grass-roots revolt brewing over Lindsey Graham. But it’s real (and you think the Left would be cheering it on):

Lee Rogers, chairman of the Republican Party in Anderson County, S.C., was at the beach last week when his cellphone rang.

It was an urgent call from one of Rogers’ GOP activists.

”He asked me what I was going to do to find somebody to run against Lindsey Graham [next year],” Rogers said. “I explained to the gentleman that’s not something I can put together as a single county chairman. That’s got to happen with the people.”

It could be happening.

Graham, nearing the end of his first Senate term, has taken plenty of heat before, but perhaps never like this.

Thanks to his high-profile help in crafting an immigration reform bill that has stalled in the Senate, constituents call and leave screaming messages on his office voice mail.

”No amnesty! No amnesty!” one repeat caller yells for a minute or more in angry overnight messages that greet his aides in the morning.

Graham’s staff estimates that his Senate offices have received about 3,000 letters, phone calls, e-mails and faxes about immigration in the last month, most of them critical of him.

Talk-radio hosts within and beyond South Carolina deride Graham as a Ted Kennedy toady.

Rush Limbaugh has taken to calling him “Lindsey Grah-amnesty.”

Meanwhile, RNC honcho Sen. Mel Martinez is busy blaming U.S. foreign intervention in Latin America for the GOP’s woes, according to Debbie Schlussel. And it looks like he still wants a presidential debate in Spanish.

Want to know the real source of the GOP’s woes, Sen. Martinez?

Look in the mirror.
