Iowa Tea Party terrorist verbally attacks Obama
Tea Party terrorist decides to attack Obama because of something someone else said
In a move that would thrill Obama Haters, a Tea Party terrorist went after the president following a town hall speech in Iowa. The attacking terrorist was apparently upset because Vice President Joe Biden had allegedly called Tea Baggers “terrorists.”
Here’s the video from Fox News (sorry):
Here is the story:
President Obama was greeted with some unexpected spice at the end of his town hall meeting in Iowa last night, when the founder of the Iowa Tea Party confronted him about Joe Biden’s alleged remark that Tea Party members acted like “terrorists” (the VP denies saying it). Obama didn’t directly respond in public, but did tell Ryan Rhodes that “as someone who’s been called a socialist, not born here, taking away freedoms for providing health care, I’m all for lowering the rhetoric.” The two then apparently held a brief but “animated” private conversation, reports Greta Van Susteren’s GretaWire.
In a subsequent interview with Fox News, Rhodes said of his encounter with Obama, “He just denied it, he said the vice president didn’t make any of those assertions. He doesn’t want to even admit what was on TV nationally.” Audio of their discussion was not available. Some attendees at the Iowa meeting disapproved of Rhodes’ questioning, with one woman telling him it was “extraordinarily rude.” Unapologetic, Rhodes said of the exchange, “I said my piece.”
I think some of them are terrorists. What do you think? Have any of the Tea Baggers demonstrated terrorist type behavior?

Aren’t we lowering the bar a bit as to what qualifies as ‘terrorism?’ Yes, the tea bag agenda is a disaster waiting to happen, and their wrong-headed approach to the debt ceiling debate was first-class blackmail, but somehow I just can’t work up the fear to be terrified of them. They’re just so dumb!
I think of the tea party much the way I think of McCarthyism. Although they have a fearful following charging around to get the boogeymen they’re all afraid of, time will show they’ve allowed their fear to be used by snake-oil salesmen for political mileage. In the fullness of time, their house of cards will come crashing down around them. The only thing that will not change is the angry reactionaries they pander to will still be baying for blood. Theirs.
Did you hear that woman say “eco terrorists”? If anyone should know, it’s the pee party. If Joe Biden calls the pee party terrorists, I’m 100% behind him.
