The White House, meanwhile, has accused Republicans of holding the budget hostage, demanding ransoms and threatening to burn down the house unless they get what they want.
Former Vice President Al Gore accused Republicans Friday of "political terrorism." House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California has called her GOP colleagues "legislative arsonists" in a fundraising email and TV interviews. And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., likened them to "anarchists" and "fanatics."
When a gunman in Tucson unloaded on Arizonans in 2011, killing six and critically wounding Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, lawmakers from both parties called for a reset in confrontational politics. A nation in shock sought to put a pause on overheated belligerence, realizing that there may be dangers inherent in using battle-themed language to describe partisan disagreements in a peaceful democracy.
Two years later, that restraint has evaporated.
"What we're not for is negotiating with people with a bomb strapped to their chest," Obama's senior adviser, Dan Pfeiffer, told CNN this week.

marginalize - then a full court press to annihilate.

he is the terrorist threatening to shut down the gov’t over some stupid program only a hand full want, and no one will benefit from but the gov’t. over 2 cents cuts he furlough Military hospital civie workers.
Instead of them taking pay cuts, going on BC/BS and making payments on it themselves instead of us. Then their golden retirements need reduced, AND their globe trotting stopped and her clothes binges! Their kids can do the dogs, and they can ride in the same stupid airplane with their owners!
We’ve been called arsonists, hostage takers, suicide bombers, anarchists and a few more I’m surely forgetting.
hysteria hate and hypocrisy know no bounds in the attacks on the American public by the democrat party
innocent victims have already started dying in increased numbers in racial attacks
property seizure, wealth seizures and attacks on religious faith - next
OH NO. The government will be shut down!
The IRS won’t be able to stop Tea Party groups from getting their 501.c.3 status.
The ATF won’t be able to funnel guns to Mexican Drug Lords.
The NSA won’t be able to read our Email.
The EPA won’t be able to shut down Coal fired power plants.
The Army Corp of Engineers won’t be able to stop people from building their houses on dry wet lands.
The EPA won’t be able to ignore dead birds around Wind Turbines.
Well I could go on but it is more fun to watch the rest of you expand on what a terrible thing it would be for the Republicans to shut down the government.
The Obamedia always blames both Democrats and Republicans for name calling, but if we were to take a tally of such behavior, the Democrats are far more violent in their use of bullying and abusive speech than Republicans. The only time the Republicans get in trouble is when they venture to tell the truth about Democrats and their inflammatory tactics. It’s like throwing holy water on witches.
the GOP is a buncha putzes who always go on defense
as if there was something to defend
LOL ought to be the only response to Pelosi Carney Gore and Pfeiffer
Maybe someone ought to say Gore needs to get a massage
Your link is not working.
Dog whistle for all the mentally-imbalanced Aaron Alexis/Occupy Cleveland-type leftists to finally snap and start cappin’ people...
The left is vicious and violent. Hence Anita Dunn’s reverence for Chairman Mao, who slaughtered 60 million.
Liberals habitually accuse others of doing what they do without seeing the hypocrisy. It’s a flaw that comes with fuzzie thinking of the world in shades of gray, without the “absolutes” that conservatives perceive as the immutable dictates of natural law.
Kanjorski: ‘Only fruitcakes’ would take my call to shoot a governor literally
Our guys have to be on talkshows to “rebut” the libs so they’ll be in the msm at that point.
America HATES bullies.
Our guys need to point out that the Senate is “bullying” the House, making unreasonable demands and not even letting the little guy talk. Shoving Obamacare down their throats and down the people’s throats.
I think it might resonate with the people.
Remind people that the house is the most directly representative body of the individual in Washington DC.
folks, we getting real real close to the tipping point.
Arsonists, Anarchists, Political terrorists, Yes: Tha Democrats toss out accusations like this. It is nothing new for Harry Reid or Pelosi.
And of course these charges are untrue.
Why not call the Republican leaders what they are-——Chickensh*ts.
They sit there with a yellow stripe down their backs and allow these Democrats to get away with their foul rhetoric and do nothing., They don’t even defend themselves or the only Republican with a set of balls, Ted Cruz. No they even try to enamor themselves of the name callers by calling Cruz names themselves.
Republicans, the Chickensh*t party/.
Whoa!! Waht’s that comment all about???
