Rep. Jeff Landry, Louisiana Republican, told The Daily Caller that Vice President Joe Biden should think twice before labeling him and other tea partiers “terrorists” or “hostage-takers.”
He hints that he thinks Biden, President Barack Obama and other Democrats might be more deserving of the label themselves.
“Let’s think about it: In my lifetime, I have created jobs and I have paid taxes in the private sector and I have helped move our economy forward,” Landry remarked.
“What have they done? You’ve still got above 9 percent unemployment, we’re running record deficits and on Tuesday the president signed the largest increase of United States debt in history,” he continued. “Now, you tell me who’s terrorizing the country?”
When TheDC directly asked if he’s saying Obama and the Democratic Party are the real terrorists, Landry replied, “No. I’m not going to engage in political sniping.”
Landry added that he’s pretty sure tea partiers don’t fit any dictionary definition of terrorists. “You look up the definition of terrorist, I don’t know what the exact definition would be: I don’t have Webster’s in front of me,” he said. “But you’d think it would be someone who inflicts harm on another.”
Biden reportedly said during recent debt ceiling negotiations that tea partiers acted like “terrorists.” He has denied making that comment. (RELATED: Obama won debt ceiling fight, says DNC)
Landry says he has also been called “extremist” and “rebellious.”
“Those are some of the nice words they’ve used,” Landry said. “You know they’ve called us terrorists, trolls, hobbits. I mean, I don’t understand why working towards and demanding a balanced budget be sent to the states is an extreme view.

WRONG ANSWER!!!
Sarah Palin had the quote of the week. Not an exact quote, but “if the Tea Party is terrorist, then the White House should be wanting to pal around with us. After all, Obama launched his candidacy for president at the home of a terrorist!”
“...When TheDC directly asked if he’s saying Obama and the Democratic Party are the real terrorists, Landry replied, “No. I’m not going to engage in political sniping.”
Personally, I would have replied “Yes, they are. They’re Marxists, and everywhere Marxists go, terrorism follows.”
But...good on ya, Congressman.
Boener says he got 98% of what he wanted. Obama got 100% of what he wanted. “We the People” got < nothing and the bill for 198% of progressive wishes fulfilled.
Obama promised to "fundamentally change America". He has done that. Never have we had less than a AAA debt rating. Never have we had the debt we have today. Never have we had the level of unfunded obligations as we have today.
Its simply amazing to watch the libs in the media spin and blame this disaster on Republicans or Bush or Tea Partiers, when all along their party and their jug-eared jesus have been running things into the ground. Damn them, damn them all to hell.

They can only get away with whitewashing shineola for so long till the smell gives it away!
That's gonna leave a mark.
It is called projecting.
This is why we have the emerging alternate media out there.
“I don’t understand why working towards and demanding a balanced budget be sent to the states is an extreme view.”
We need to help these guys up there realize that they don’t actually think this, it’s just a tactic. You can’t respond as if it’s a serious allegation, as if they even take it seriously. Always go on offence, for instance ask, “I thought the President had asked for more civility in Washington, I have to agree with him on that, speaking of your collegues, and in particular the American people this way, is unacceptable. I really believe Joe Biden should apologize.
Done. Never, ever, give them an inch, because they are just playing games for advantage. Words are just weapons to them.
I had seent the interview on Hannity. She was fired up that night.
