How about these?

 

Op-ed pages and cable news discussions are loaded with similarly violent comparisons that make January's love-fest look like a quaint memory. The Boston Globe's Garrett Quinn has been keeping a running tally just of Tea Party "terrorist" comparisons: Maureen Dowd referred to Tea Party activists as "political suicide bombers," for example,while Kathleen Parker wrote a column on the "Tea Fragger Party," likening them to soldiers who kill their commanding officers with grenades. Nor has a deal calmed things: Joe Nocera wrote in a New York Times column today that "Tea Party Republicans can put aside their suicide vests."

None of these "quotes" have anything to with Biden. They are all true, but they are not attributed to Biden.

CBS's omission was particularly stunning given that Evening News anchor Scott Pelley interviewed the Vice President on Monday. Politico noted that Pelley actually did ask about the 'terrorist' remark: "'I did not use the terrorism word,' Biden told CBS Evening News anchor and managing editor Scott Pelley." However, Pelley's question and Biden's denial were completely scrubbed from the portion of the interview aired on Monday's Evening News or Tuesday's Early Show.

 
 
Notice he said "I did not use the terrorism word".  Cagey fellow.  He still said terrorists, just not TERRORISM!

You are going to have to do better than that.

So what is to debate here????????

 

Teabaggers ARE terrorist.  Simple.  It is doubtful Biden said it and given how he will say ANYTHING, I would actually put a check in the truth column IF HE DID!!!

 

LOTS of people have been calling teabaggers terrorist ever since they brought assault guns to town hall meetings during the healthcare debate.

 

So, YES TEABAGGERS ARE TERRORIST (This is a non-starter)

OK Let me get this straight.  If you carry a weapon, that makes you a terrorist?  So that's how you twisted communistic chumps think huh?  Wow...and I didn't think "stupid" could be  expanded anymore. I never saw a weapon at any tea-party I attended, but I didn't attend ALL of them.  I did see alot of people in search of better run government and sought to use their voice and vote to get it...but never saw any weapons.  Although I had reason to believe they were there...I did see hard working Americans who are tired of the lazy, good for nothing, useless recipients of the system say that they had had enough.  I just figured they probably had a shotgun or rifle in the back of their truck or a pocket knife on them.

I really have to leave work and don't have time to post all the pics of teabaggers at town hall meeting with assault weapons strapped on their hips and although they didn't use them, it was for show and considering the real agenda of the tea party is to destroy government not reform it, it COULD be considered terrorism.  The chopping at the bits to create a credit default and RISK destroying the country COULD be considered terrorism.

 

BUT

 

My favorite example is the sign one carried to a town hall during the healthcare debate which showed the extremism of the radical right wing of the rethugliteacon before the tea really boiled:

 

Water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants!

 

(I can't believe I have opened THAT can of worms back up)

One gun brought an assault rifle.  Big deal!  At least, we know he wasn't KKK, unless they've really chanced their membership rules.

 

Another guy did come in colonial soldier's uniform.  All he carried was a sword.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." is a quote from Thomas Jefferson, noted tea party sympathizer.

I'd love to see a pic of a Tea Party member with an AK47 or an M16 'strapped on their hips'.....

 

Word to the wise: If you're going to talk about something, KNOW what you're talking about.

Weapons with any of these features are assault weapons:

 

Semi-automatic rifles able to accept detachable magazines and two or more of the following:

Semi-automatic pistols with detachable magazines and two or more of the following:

  • Magazine that attaches outside the pistol grip
  • Threaded barrel to attach barrel extender, flash suppressor, handgrip, or suppressor
  • Barrel shroud that can be used as a hand-hold
  • Unloaded weight of 50 oz (1.4 kg) or more
  • A semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm

Semi-automatic shotguns with two or more of the following:

  • Folding or telescoping stock
  • Pistol grip
  • Fixed capacity of more than 5 rounds
  • Detachable magazine

Assault weapons per US law, are not automatic fire as all automatic firing weapons are covered under other federal firearms laws.

"MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer fretted over health care reform protesters legally carrying guns: "A man at a pro-health care reform rally...wore a semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip....there are questions about whether this has racial overtones....white people showing up with guns." Brewer failed to mention the man she described was black."

Like i stated earlier, unless the Kluxers have really changed their membership requirements...!

 

And, as I stated in another thread -- Contessa Brewer -- lovely name, lovely to look at.  However, the elevator doesn't go to the top!

Knowledgable gun owning Americans use the MILITARY designation of 'assault weapons' (a long arm (rifle or carbine) that fires an intermediate-powered round and is capable of BOTH semi-automatic and full automatic fire,) rather than the 'definitions' created by the anti-gun politicians specifically to fit their agenda.

Ditto your socialist roots are showing.

For myself I choose Freedom.

Freedom is an illusion.

You are just a pawn of corporate/socialist America.

DC is describes as 68 square miles in area, as high as the Washington monument and surrounded on all sides by reality.

 

Lived and worked there for 11 years.

Just another deconstructionist leftie with dreams of grandeur and power over his fellow man. Another cheap Benito!
