Holy Cow! Our local newspaper calls teabaggers "terrorists" [View all]

The exact wording on the editorial says, "Congressional Terrorism".
An excerpt from the Sunday October 13 edition of the Quad City Times goes like this, ..."We use the word "terror" emphatically. What else can you call tactics the perpetrators fully intend to wreck the stock market, throw people out of work and remove any semblance of stability for economic growth?"
Good words and long overdue by media publications. This paper also endorsed Romney for PotUS. So it is fairly surprising that they would come right out and call this act of terrorism what it is.
