Gosh, sorry I'm not keeping up with the thread in your time frame. Some of us actually work for a living and can't spend every second making sure that Upton is satisfied.

Anyways, already done. Also, he's not part of our movement - by admission, and also by the fact that people holding his views aren't welcome.

Keep trying to paint that picture, though. Maybe someday, you'll believe it's a photograph.

They burst in - during business hours - trashed the place, and ran out. They caused thousands of dollars in damage. Their reason? They thought (they were wrong) that the company, which is a software development company, was working with a specific animal testing lab that the group regularly targets.

These groups are classified as domestic terrorist organizations by the FBI. But we haven't heard a peep from Upton about them - maybe we should assume that since he hasn't denounced them, he must approve of them.

Upton, you obviously support terrorism!

(do you see now how stupidly idiotic your logic on this matter is now?!)

Well, I'll give you a rep for FINALLY answering my question and for denouncing his views.

I think we can both agree that McVeigh's actions were reprehensible.

I just don't understand why it's so hard for some in the Teabagger movement to admit that...

It's not that it's hard to admit, it's that the accusation isn't worth dignifying with a response. Only crazy people and politicians trying to lessen the impact of the movement would draw the comparison in the first place. Which are you?

Tea party is responsible for not garnering respect from many like me. When they can prove themselves in the longer run, I just might respect them more. Part of my disgust also comes from use of the name "tea party", when the movement today is technically carrying corporate agenda. It contradicts the original tea party that opposed government's selective taxation on the people as well as corporations that were dictating people's lives.

Now, the whine and cry is about... socialism. We've come a long way.

I've read your posts here for some time now. You're a lost cause, and not having your respect isn't keeping anyone awake at night. Your opinions aren't representative of very many in this country.

The reason why you don’t hear about these things is because the left really doesn’t care about violence. In fact if it advances their cause they are for it. (Alinsky said that the ethics of a method is determined by its success).

They WANT conservatives to act out violently because they need a way to demonize the individuals involved in the current conservative backlash to Obama.

They do this because it is a tenant of the liberal faith. demonize the individual and you effectively isolate the organization.

You rarely hear them mention the issues and debate them on merit. Because you don’t debate issues. Liberals lose if it comes to that.

What liberals understand is, a person who has been demonized will not be heard by the public.

Liberals will:
1. demonize
2. ridicule
3. point out hypocrisy.

Their bible tells them to do it this way. By the way, their bible was dedicated to Lucifer "the first community organizer.

“Rules for Radicals” I recommend reading it
