"I know quite a few Marines who will be very happy to help these terrorists to paradise". Joel Send a noteboard - 14/03/2011 07:17:02 PM
Well the Tea Party isn’t going around blowing people up but that is beside the point. If you want to cry about your group being stereotyped because of the actions of small minority don't by stereotyping another group by the actions of a few.

If the call to religious murder fits, wear it. Again, you can't call a US Congressman and city councilwoman elected by MAJORITIES a fringe element. The Tea Party chose to put their name on that and sponsor it, so they get to be responsible when one of their Congressmen accuses people at a charity fundraiser of "destroying America". THIS is what you were patting yourself on the back for putting in charge of the country last November; you don't get to just wash your hands of the shameful and dangerous results.

Make no mistake: This IS dangerous. When the whole city council, instead of just "a few" members, is proudly declaring their sons and the rest of the military would cheerfully murder those attending an event, you can bet that city won't provide the police who were guarding the door at this event. Your minister can get up and publicly call Islam a false religion, even accuse all of its members of being terrorists; your mayor can't, because he has to represent and serve his Muslim constituents as well as his others. As usual, what's most alarming about this isn't the well known fact that a few extremists will use violent inflammatory language, but that THESE extremists include elected officials whom your beloved Tea Party proudly supported--and still does. Thus I'm sure I'll have many more opportunities to try and explain to you why using violent inflammatory language and supporting those who do is neither a good idea nor a First Amendment right; I'm just glad no one died this time (as much as that disappoints the city councilwoman). This time....

"Real" America seems a pretty vicious hateful place, a cause for shame, not to be "Proud to Be an American". That's not America, nor should it be.

The problem with that is that Muslims aren't electing terrorists to city councils or Congress. - 13/03/2011 08:13:38 PM 767 Views
