I am having the same conversation about Palin, Angle, Bachman, Beck, etc. as I was a week ago and a week before that and before that.
does not excuse these people from the violent crap they have been spewing.
Running around saying people are calling him a hero is about as sick and low as one can get in an attempt just to smear another side. No one has called him a hero.
. I was worried about the violent scary gun talk in November. .
Perhaps clarification lies in the simple observation that Americans sometimes have an alarming tendency to effect political change through the barrel of a gun. Mind you...this was not a political act, it was the act of a seriously ill individual. Perhaps he was torn apart by the rhetoric, but I've no doubt his illness would have manifested itself in some other extreme manner.
Stephen Broden, a Tea Party candidate, said he would not rule out violent overthrow of the government if elections did not produce a change in leadership.
God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
Actually, that would make him and his followers the tyrants.
The majority, oppressing an individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest breaks up the foundations of society.
Was the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now.

Reading Jefferson, you will see that the elected majority can be a tyrant, in that founding fathers opinion.

Because the TEA Party threatened that there would be harsh ramifications if the GOP didn't do everything they demanded when they demanded it and how they demanded.
Nothin' like a group of radical fundamentalists holding a whole philosophy hostage eh?

Yea and who knows maybe some day they will be able to rise to the postions and influence that the Weathermen now have. I dont know of any radical TP that have written radical revolutionary books like the famous ex weatherman but who knows! Maybe one is in the works. Dont think they could out do a title like "Prairie Fire" for pure effect but we will see.
