Las Vegas shooting = Tea Party terrorism

Does it make you a Nazi if a Nazi says something nice about you?

Quote:One OWS protestor balmed Jews on Wall Street and five anarchists who participated in OWS protests were arrested in an FBI sting for plotting to blow up bridges in Cleveland, Ohio.

Every large political movement has a violent fringe. That's not the point. The point is that the Tea Party intentionally encourages action from their violent fringe. Now, show me where any Democratic politican or Occupy-affiliated media personnel openly and repeatedly called for action of this nature.

Quote:According your judgement then, the far-left Occupy Wall Street movement is nothing but a left-wing terror group which is made up of anti-semites, nazis, commies, and murdering anarchists.

Nope. Not even close to the same thing. How many times have cops come through with blunt objects and tear gas on a Tea Party rally? The occupy movement has its violent elements, but on the whole, it suffered a lot more than it dished out. The Tea Party has been fortunate on that point. The power of moneyed interest protects that movement, rather than trying to destroy it. Though, that may be changing soon now that Big Business is losing control of its useful lunatics.

And, as a final nail in the coffin, Occupy was never a political organization like the Tea Party, and never took overt political action, so it's not even fair to categorize them in the same way.
