It amazes me that some people think freedom of speech only applies when they agree with what is being said.
I would not put it past radical libs, to make those threats or tamper with gas lines in an effort to make it seem that the Tea Party was responsible.
If and when arrests are made, there can be more of a conclusion drawn.
Until then, it is all speculation on who is responsible.
One fact remains, there is a groundswell of disenchanted voters out there and the Dems know that this movement is growing and could effect their majorities.
So they are being proactive to demonize not just a few, but everyone associated with the Tea Party.

Really, tea baggers would actually leave this country? Will they be singing "God Bless America" as they head out the door to....who would want them? Seriously. I don't see a lot of enterprise-minded individuals at their rallies. :dunno:
I don't remember seeing any Klansman getting a boner for Allen West and Marco Rubio.
Trying to diminish the "Tea Parties" by comparing them to true hate groups is a huge insult to all who risked and gave their lives for the Civil Rights movement. Who'd have thought that the 21st century's McCarthyism would be painting your political enemies as racists!?
I am going to break my vow of giving up cursing for Lent and say that is the dumbest fucking thing I have seen written here in a long time.
I went to a couple tea party events and they ejected anyone who even showed the slightest semblance of racism. There were even a couple of black speakers there.
Go stick your head in a toilet.
That may well be the most unimformed thing I have ever read on Freeones (outside of Will E).
The in the last week the tea baggers screamed in the face of a man that has Parkinson’s Disease, they yelled ****** and faggot at Congress members , they spit on a Congressman who was a Civil Rights leader.
They have made thousands of death threats to members of Congress and employees, (so many that the Capital police can't keep up.)
They are vandalizing Congressional Offices. I personally saw one push an elderly woman into the street in front of my Congresswoman's office before he was arrested.
They carry signs that depict the President of the United States (who by the way received more votes than any other person in any US election) as a monkey.
There is no other way to put it than to say it is racist domestic terrorism.
They
As my pappy always used to ask . . . "Who are they?" :1orglaugh
Prove to me that these so called "theys" are who they claim to be.
I've seen this shit before,it's the oldest trick in the book ! Why would anybody endeavor to give the opposition ammunition for the MSM ?
Sorry Charlie, it jus don't add up !
And these "death threats" they are getting are likely from their party as well. You wanna talk about low - using plants to project vile and fabricated propaganda - it doesn't get any lower than that. And the sad part is that it is a smear move that will be effective.
You, sir, are a bigot. And not only a bigot, but one who chooses to turn a blind eye towards the death threats and shootings allegedly aimed at Republicans like Dick Army and Eric Cantor.
Have you no decency??:thefinger
Yeah Ok, these acts are primarily a sham orchestrated by the DMC :rofl:
I guess you haven't been paying attention to the unrelenting hateful, inciting lies and slurs the right wing media's been issuing on a daily basis for going on two years now. I guess you never heard Glenn Beck call the president a racist who hates white people. Never heard the whole lot of them calling him an america-hating marxist. Never heard the likes of Palin claiming he wants to euthanize our senior citizens. Because if you've been paying attention you'd know that the brick throwing, the death threats, the spitting, and the racial epithets are completely consistent with the mindset those propagandist fucktards have been irresponsibly engendering among their disciples.

:rofl: What a maroon. Cheapening the word racist? Beck's comment is the epitome of race baiting and fear mongering.
