Tea Party guys: remember them?

**Vercingetorix_Defeated** · April 26, 2009, 01:40 PM

Apparently the Tea Party extremist wingnuts didn't go far enough with signs threatening violence, revolution, racism, etc on tea party days, and had to take their whining to the intarweb!

Luckily, one of the wingnuts was arrested for his crazed threatening of violence and murder on a large scale.

Hopefully this idiot will be an example to the rest of the right wing fanatics who thought they could spout hate mongering and incite violence and get away with it.

So, people are getting arrested because of what they're saying on Twitter? That's kinda depressing.

When they're calling for mass murder for political reasons, which is TERRORISM, then YES, the law actually applies.

It's hilarious to hear the double standard so many have: if its an Al Qaeda website promoting violence and hatred, well then of course they should be shut down and arrested.

But if its a tea party website? Apparently not.

Drop the double standard. Inciting politically motivated violence is inciting terrorism. This is what Hitler and his chums did. There's a good reason it's against the law.

Yeah, let's go arresting everyone who makes up crap and exaggerates online.

I mean seriously, I would KILL anyone who would propose such legislature!

Probably would have been wiser to call the RCMP.

I wouldn't bet on it.

**Cougar109** · April 26, 2009, 05:44 PM

Funny, I though it was only the left wing nuts and extremists who were dangerous and called out for peoples untimely deaths. I can't believe Fox lied to me.

On a more serious note, please let this tea party nonsense fade away into the forgotten realms of history already.

Where was racism or threats of violence ever brought up? It never was. Who is the extremist here? Those that follow the constitution, or those that must resort to massive propaganda?

**Marie Louise von Preussen** · April 26, 2009, 05:50 PM

This guy is just an internet loonie. Now they are going to arrest everyone that threatens to kill cops anonimously on the interwebs?

**Bovril** · April 26, 2009, 07:57 PM

I am going to kill cops.

*waits for the knock*

**AqD** · April 26, 2009, 08:18 PM

What about arresting the senators and presidents who called for wars?

**Phier** · April 26, 2009, 08:27 PM

Well if someone said something nutty on the interweb then obviously thats how to characterize all the people involved.

Get a real job, have a family, can then come post about it.

**Da Skinna** · April 26, 2009, 09:01 PM

Should idiots have technology?

**danzig** · April 26, 2009, 10:12 PM

Actually the double standard here is the original poster in generalizing all the protesters as being "wingnuts" or threatening violence but such nonsense is expected.

one nutjob does not mean that all people following that movement , are nutters as well. Applied to the marchers at the g20, applies here.

**Gertrudius** · April 27, 2009, 12:57 PM

I'm going to echo what others have been saying here, and note that the rantings of a few whack jobs in no way constitute the opinion of everyone involved with a movement. That is unless your partisan enough to generalize a massive group of people based on a precedent set forward by a few.

That would imply a standing stereotype of those who hold a certain viewpoint that happens to differ with yours. That's a natural expression of outgroup homogeneity, but as rational beings it becomes us to move past such petty generalizations, and strive to understand and respect others opinions, even if you do not agree with them.

Take it easy,
