Tea Party Express: We are under siege!

In a fundraising email sent out Wednesday afternoon, the Tea Party Express said it was under siege from Democrats and liberals following the government shutdown.
We have been under constant attack by the slanderous rhetoric of the Democrats and mainstream media. We are simply patriotic Americans that are concerned with the out-of-control federal budget and the expansion and intrusiveness of the government, yet we are called bigots, terrorists, anarchists, and the list goes on, the email said.
The Tea Party Express wrote that the situation had become even worse thanks to Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL).
In his own fundraising email, the Florida Democrat compared Tea Party Republicans to the Ku Klux Klan. He later defended the email by saying, If the hood fits, wear it.
You know that the efforts of Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, and other conservatives are working when the left resorts to such vile and hateful smears, Tea Party Express said.

(10,602 posts)Tea baggers should face harassment and ridicule where ever they go. Throw them out of businesses and refuse to serve the excrement. They are the enemy of the US. Not Patriots. Refuse services to the they insist on denying others. Unless we get brutal with them they will continue. They are not fellow Americans.

(13,877 posts)Such as, a Lefty Liberal saying: "Let's spread the wealth around." Those are fighting words so, some regard that as a perjorative, too. Oh well.

(769 posts)Attack anyone with the full force yet they won't even withstood the attacks from anyone. If Tea Party is like a gigantic defense wall of cities, they'd fled in first sight of full force of left and independents march upon them and wouldn't defend their own wall.
If humans are require to unite together to fight against supposedly other-worldly force, I wouldn't want to have a teabagger behind my back.

(66,391 posts)One of the things I find most amusing about the teabaggers and their right-wing ilk is not simply their obsession with war, but the fact that they are so spectacularly bad at it.
Since the rise of the military-industrial complex in the 1950's, it seems we only pick on people we think won't fight back. And then when we do, and we get our imperialistic asses kicked, the reich-wingers go around complaining: "Hey! They ain't 'posed ta be doin' that! We're tryin' ta lib'rate them! They ain't fightin' fair!"
