Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA), speaking on Meet the Press this morning, equated with terrorists the thousands of Americans who thronged the Capitol during the recent Tea Party protests against the Democrats' takeover of the health care system.
Harman was talking about the arrests this week of 'militia' members charged with domestic terrorism and how their alleged plans were to use improvised explosive devices as part of a plot to kill law enforcement officers.
Harman directly pivoted from that to invoking the Capitol Police officers who guard Capitol Hill, saying that they were the only thing protecting Congress from a similar fate during the health care takeover protests.
Harman chairs the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Intelligence, Information Sharing and Terrorism Risk Assessment.
A transcript of Harman's remarks on Meet the Press should be available later for the exact quote.
Permits? We don' need no steenkin' permits! It's called freedom of assembly. In fact, we should take a page from the leftist/anarchist playbook and start flash mobbing from time to time.
Congressman/Senator So and So or a Michael Moore-on or Rosie O'Donuts is going to be at a particular location at a particular time; can we get hundreds there on a half hour notice?
Oh, that's right, it won't work; because we DO work!
It looks like 0bama is the only thing between the members of Congress and the pitchforks.
Yes, exactly, BTTT.
Conservative Freedom Fighters
Liberal Democrat Terrorists
Conservative terrorists
Marty has it about right BUT I think 0bama will stage something and blame it on th Tea Partiers.
All of us goung to April 15 events must be on the look out and have camera phones going.
Interesting that 2 members of that right wing militia group are registered Democrats. MSM will never report that
While we are not quite up to 1775 (Lexington and Concord) we are beyond the 1773 events of throwing tea into the harbor. Maybe the 1774 “Intolerable Acts”. Certainly the language of the “Progressives” is similar to that of the British Parliment when the latter passed the “Intolerable Acts”.
So? We have Constitutional right to keep and bear arms too, and that hasn't stopped Congress since 1937. We also have a right to a Natural Born Citizen as our President. Courts won't even look at that.
Harman is my Congresswoman.
She’s got an opponent named Marcy Winograd who, believe it not, is even more radical than her.
But Jane is one of the richest women in Congress, so she’ll easily blow her Code Pink opponent right into the Pacific.
Sadly, I don’t even know who the GOP candidates are...
Jane Harman, one of the reasons it sucks to live in California!
If recent memory is any clue, remember the Clinton VRWC demagoguery.
We are seeing the same ole tactic by the C/F/S/dums. This time they think they have a totalitarian hold on the Country.
Upping the rhetoric to calling law biding citizens terrorists. They had Reno to do their dirty work and now they have Holder to do the dirty work.
Our job is to make sure that everything is documented, BIG Time.
I wonder if they are working on a Waco type diversion?
And all the while the Islamofascist are double timing their plan of attack. History repeating.
If anything we should be pointing out that while all this demonization of Americans is going on, and diverting our LEOs, the true enemies of the u.S. are still planning a real attack on the Country.
9-11 Redux.
The only members of an unruly mob during the health care takeover protests were the thugs inside the capitol building. These people have been sequestered for so long that any dissent at all seems to them like a threat.
"But the other troubling thing about this is that group was going to import the terror tactics used by al Qaeda and other groups. They were going to use IEDs to blow up the funeral processions for these law enforcement officers that they were going to execute.
"Let's understand that law enforcement does a wonderful job of keeping this country safe. And without the women and men of law enforcement who kept our Capitol safe during the protests on health care, I think we'd be in much worse trouble. But the point is that not all terror groups are Muslim groups and not all of them are al Qaeda related. This is a global problem and domestically we have a growing problem of home grown terrorism, not just from Muslims."
Well, if she hates Nancy Pelosi, she can’t be ALL bad.
Maybe someone should send Jane a videotape of Hillary screeching that dissent is patriotic. Of course, Hillary made those shrill comments when we had a Republican president.
