Fla. congressman compares Tea Party to Ku Klux Klan (Grayson)

[DonCoquixote]

103. Ok, let me offer you this

Yes, no one was directly hung from a tree as a result of the Tea party. granted, everytime there has been a shooting, especially a racially motivated one (like tray martin) they have been apolgiosts and enablers. Yes, they have called for the killing of liberals, openly advocated crimes ranging from tax cheating to "second amendment remedies." and it is funny how many lone wolf gunmen types seem to be influenced by them, but you are right, they have not lynched anyone we know of.

Of course, the fact that the KKK did do open crimes is what forced even a diehard commie hater like Jeb Hoover to crack down on them. Now, they just supress votes in secret, and wrap their demands in smooth propaganda. Nevermind the fact that, by cutting medical care, food stamps, other social services and advocating wars, they may very well have killed more Americans than the KKK ever did, to say nothing of foriegners, something the KKK did not get to do.

Yes, I understand you want to be logi.cal, sane, clam, and yes, most of the time, that is good, but even the most self-defense oriented martial artist knows that you cannot always dodge combat, especially when the opponent does not care about reason. Add to this the massive funding by Billionaires, that thanks to the Supreme court, we are not even allowed to count.

I am NOT saying we all need to be a Ted Rall or Alan Grayson. What I am saying is that we need ALL TYPES, those who can offer to sit down and talk at a table, and those who, when they see the GOP is pulling a gun out of the pocket, will tackle the SOB. Part of the reason we are in our mess is, for all of their foolishness, the GOP realized they needed many types of people, with many types of methods, from the clear voiced genteel types to the wild fringe. We on the left have fallen too much in love with a self image that says "we are above that." Once the enemy realizes you are stuck in a rigid method, they do what we did to the british redcoats; watch for their patterns and blast them apart. We have been the rigid army that may have resoruces, but refused to deal with guerilla warfare, which a lot of tea party action is.

Avtion, this is not meant as disrespect. I am just very tired of seeing my comrades get blasted apart because they insist that their sharp knife will beat the GOP snipers.
