^^ Whoa back up.
Dobs (DrBombay) : 'What is the diff between this guy and the tea baggers?'
My reply: 'A: No teabag people have flown planes into buildings that I know of?'
Mimio: ' "A: No teabag people have flown planes into buildings that I know of?"
uuummm,
timothy mcveigh? 'Look I get what you guys are grasping at I just don't agree. The guy who flew his plane into the IRS building was not a Tea Bagger. Timothy McVeigh was not a Tea Bagger. I get that they all three share in a distaste for government and I'm not disagreeing that there are most likely radicalized people in the Tea Party. However, a common trait doesn't make them the same. First of all, as far as I know there hasn't been any violence involved with the Tea Party folks. So exactly how is this guy like the Tea Bagger?
Look I don't want to come off like I support this Tea Baggery, because I don't. I liked the message when it began but it seems to have become a twisted mess of Republicanism/Christianity and some sort of romanticized view of the 'old days.'
The problem I have is that some of you are so quick to make these people out to be extremists when absolutely nothing violent has ever taken place with the Tea Bag people, yet. I thought you lot were against preemptive action? ;)
- So threatening a violent revolution isn't the same ideology?Mimio
- How do you know McVeigh was not a teabagger?monkeyshine
- Well first of all 'Tea Bagger' is 2 years old or something. How do you know that I'm not Paul Revere?mathinc
