Tea Party Group Hit With Death Threats
US News.com ^ | 8/25/2010 | Paul Bedard

One of Washington's principal supporters of the Tea Party movement, former GOP Majority Leader Dick Armey's FreedomWorks, has been receiving death threats and profanity-laced phone calls as it gets involved in the fall elections. The number and intensity have reached such heights that the organization is leaving its downtown location near the FBI and moving to a high-security building near the U.S. Capitol.

"FreedomWorks and Dick Armey receive dozens of threatening and harassing calls and E-mails each day. Many imply violence and use of weapons," spokesman Adam Brandon tells Whispers. "As we get closer to the election we expect the harassment to increase."

He says that FreedomWorks will hire additional security, meaning less money for its election-eve, get-out-the-vote, or GOTV, campaign. "Unfortunately, we may have to use resources for security guards that we would rather use for GOTV," he said.

What would expect from a party with this boy at the helm?

The “Conservative Mind” is inherently a live and let live mind.

You go do your thing over there, and as long as it doesn’t threaten me or my kids (or their future), you’ll be just fine.

The liberal/oppressive mindset, however, is that you MUST AGREE WITH THEM or you will be FORCED TO AGREE with them. They will NOT let you be.

liberals are desperate and trying anything now. What they don;t realize is that much like early patriots, there is no retreat now. They have backed us into a corner.

We kept stepping back into that corner in the name of “being civil”. Now we’ve no place to take another step back. Here we stand and fight. No more room for “Civility”.

Bugger off. Dick Armey is part of the D.C. establishment, thus, until proven otherwise, part of the problem. He is one who may well intend to, as another infamous RINO put it, co-opt the Tea Party movement, because D.C. RINOs don’t need a bunch of DeMint clones. It has NOTHING to do with Ron Paul and everything to do with the RINO establishment.

So you just head back to mom’s basement and simmer down.

Well it seems that the tolerant left is not so tolerant after all. What happen to civility to those that have a different opinion? Seems like that only applies to those who belong to a certain Democratic party and their minions in the media.

The left in this country is more intolerant of opposing views than anyone else. They want to shut down all others by having their puppets in the media distort their views in order to turn public opinion. If that fails they resort to hate speech and threats of violence.

The Democrats and liberal say one thing in public and do another in private. No wonder they fail. Their ideas and methods cannot withstand the light of day and that is why they hide in the shadows.

That might be the fundamental tweak the Liberals have in common with the 'submit or die' crowd, which seems to keep them so closely aligned with a group that would just as soon lop off their heads or stone them to death.
