LOL. You really think someone high up in the GOP is orchestrating people to throw a few bricks through some windows? That is some really wishful thinking there.
The GOP and their new pet pitbull teabaggers managed to go from a majority in 2004 to a increasingly powerless minority now.
Do they really think that acting like over emotion adolescent vandals will get them back in power?
My guess, the FBI already has informants in place in various tea bag groups, and if the FBI can prove this vandalism campaign is being orchestrated by someone high up in the GOP, the GOP will be in deep doo doo come the election of 11/2010.
You're right. Someone is in denial here. I made comment which in my view you clearly mischaracterized. I accused you of straw mannery, asking how or why you interpretted my post the way you did. You are now avoiding the issue by proferring glib and snarky comments. Yup, someone is definitely in denial here.

Ignorant religious extremists are ignorant religious extremists. Why is violence with one ok, but the other is not?
Learn to read better.
Here's a chance for the left to express their second amendment rights, pick up some independent votes and reduce the number of registered republicans in one shot.
Reading some of your past posts it's no surprise to me you would take that point of view. I am neither right wing or left wing, I don't claim a party so for me it's funny to watch people like you take every opportunity to attack the other side (reading your posts probably 2/3s are attacks on those who do not share your opinion). My list keeps getting bigger and bigger.
FBI investigating threats to Democrats
By JIM ABRAMS (AP)
WASHINGTON The FBI is investigating threats against lawmakers stemming from intense opposition to the health care overhaul law.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer says more than 10 Democratic lawmakers have reported incidents. Hoyer adds that the FBI and Capitol Police briefed Democrats on how to handle perceived security threats.
The FBI says that all threats and incidents directed against members of Congress are taken seriously and are being investigated by the FBI. The bureau's Washington field office issued the statement.
The FBI statement added that U.S. Capitol Police and other law enforcement agencies also are investigating to identify and bring to justice those responsible.
So cutting gas lines to blow up a house full of children is OK. Hey, Obama is a nazi commie socialist because you all cannot accept election results.
So it is justified.
Idiots.
Nobody here is defending, excusing, or accepting violence.
However, sometimes there has to be recognition of reality. There has been violence between humans since the dawn of time. There has been violence against politicians in this country since its very beginning.
The goal of better & cheaper health care should be something that unites everyone together. Yet our politicians figured out a way to take a good idea and tear this country apart. I'm sure there were violent threats against Republicans and Dems who opposed this bill too, by the fringe on the other side of the issue.
The real point is that just speaking against violence does not make it go away. Sometimes we have to recognize what incites violence, and not do that.
If I see a person on the street who looks kinda crazy, not right in the head, but otherwise not doing anything illegal, should I purposely piss him off? Poke at him until he reacts? Insult him?
Like it or not, this administration is giving off the impression of being corrupt, dishonest, and immoral.
What impression is given when the bill is ultimately written in secrecy? When it is voted on without being read? When it includes all sorts of bribes for votes? When the speaker of the house stands at the mic and states this bill will reduce the deficit by $1.3trillion just before the vote takes place?

Wow, people here are actually trying to defend the minority crazies inciting violence on innocent people?
deflecting the post by claiming that the OP is lumping these incidents into one mass group is simply ignoring the issue, and casting aspersions on someone who is critical of lunatic fringe is....frightening.
If the posts come from a Tea Party sight...what more is there to say? That's where they come from. It doesn't suggest that it is the entire movement, but that these acts resulted from such calls. probably a handful of people, at best. The point is that there are those committing acts, and those encouraging others to do so. Being unwilling to criticize such acts is almost guilt through association.
Fucking unbelievable.
Its not ok at all but perhaps a little context is due?
I bet these guys aren't on your team right? I wonder how you will react when some dumbfuck on your team does something similar?
This is the absurdity of our politics, we are comparing broken windows to 9/11 purely based on politics. If it was some asshole sleeping with some guys wife that incited the broken windows this would be a non-story. OMFGWTFBBQ they didn't like the healthcare bill though!!! DOMESTIC TERRORISTS!!! GITMO!!! WATERBOARD THE BASTARDS!! FIND THE CO-CONSPIRATORS!!!
You guys crack me up sometimes.

Back people into a corner, and they'll bite.
Desperation setting in on the right, hopefully FBI is getting on top of these right wing terrorists.
I have no pity or compassion for democratic baby killers. They reap what they sew!

When you live in the land of the free and the home of the brave and you sign the most communistic bill ever to pass in the house, you have to expect someone to be angry. I would not suggest that violence is the answer. However, feel free to hold a civil protest on their sidewalk.
ah, your contradiction, so telling....
\tell me more about "watering the tree of liberty...."
You have the wrong guy. He's the one who would see doctors imprisoned or otherwise punished if they violated a rule of government to help a patient.
