Tea Partyers' Political Anger Isn't Harmless (Gigantic Colossal Barf Alert!!!
Investors.com ^ | March 25, 2010 | Left wing lunatic EUGENE ROBINSON

Let's not pretend anymore that the Tea Party movement is harmless. The right to protest is one of our cherished American freedoms.

But there is no right to vandalism, no right to threaten our elected officials' lives. Someone is going to get hurt unless those who lead the movement — and those who exploit it — start acting like responsible adults.

What are the chances of that?

It was Sarah Palin, the Eva Peron of the Tea Party crowd, who used Facebook to target 20 Democrats who voted for health care reform, indicating their districts' locations on a map with the cross hairs of a rifle scope. It was Palin who wrote on Twitter: "Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: 'Don't Retreat, Instead — RELOAD!' Pls see my Facebook page."

That anyone still listens to this person is one of the most unfortunate unintended consequences of social networking.

At least 10 House Democrats have had to request additional security following Sunday's health care vote. Someone left a coffin on the lawn of Rep. Russ Carnahan's home in Missouri. Glass doors and windows were broken at the district offices of Reps. Louise Slaughter of New York and Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona. Vandals have damaged Democratic Party offices in Wichita Kan., Rochester, N.Y., and Cincinnati.

And Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan, whose last-minute compromise on abortion funding guaranteed final passage of the reform act, has received a flood of abusive phone calls at his office and home. Someone faxed him a drawing of a noose.

Engaged in private celebrations, no doubt.

I enjoy reading our post...but i think it is time when we post articles like this to not only post here...but in turn write on the blog or article sites we receive. Otherwise we are really preaching to the choir....This article could use a few hundred posts of descent!

Thanks, Eugene, for that bit of wisdom.

If Democrats want to be fascist then they are going to have to take the consequences.

Where is this wingnut when the protesters are smashing store windows at G8 meetings? I’ve never heard a peep from him then.

Let me guess. Eugene is black, he’s a communist, he ‘graduated’ from an all-black college (if he graduated at all!), he’s an Obama ass-kisser, he’s a moron, a liar, and a black anti-white racist. That about cover it?

Yes, Mr. Eugene Roberson, We are a Rowdy bunch. Just look at how many of us got arrested last year at the G20 Pittsburgh meeting. LOOK AT ALL the property damage we did.
Like MAN IT WAS.......WAIT A MINUNTE THAT WASN’T US TEA PARTY MEMBERS. THAT WAS THE FAR LEFT PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST.
Sorry Eugene, Wrong protest.

From: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/5302598.stm

The 90-minute film shows Mr Bush being targeted by a sniper during anti-war rally in Chicago in 2007.

From: http://www2.fbi.gov/congress/congress02/jarboe021202.htm

The FBI estimates that the ALF/ELF have committed more than 600 criminal acts in the United States since 1996, resulting in damages in excess of 43 million dollars.

and

However, the stated goal of CSP to stop development of previously undeveloped lands, is similar to that of the ELF. The property damage associated with the arsons has been estimated to be in excess of $5 million.

False outrage at what are likely staged events in my opinion...

These threats are so staged. If they were real, the media would be the ones receiving threats. Eugenes next story will tie Sarah palin’s facebook page to the decrease in solar flares and shifts in the magnetic field of the earth.
