1. This is getting very interesting

Some concrete proof that the whackos are violent and Palin and Bachmann are too stupid to distance themselves from this.

[Orrex]

2. I have never been more surprised in my life.

[me b zola]

10. Yeah, surprised that cnn is making the connection

Since the campaign I have felt that cnn and other media outlets have been encouraging the rw violent ramp-up. Think of all of the money that they will save/make if there is a violent conflict here in the States.

[annabanana]

27. They probably did it by accident. I doubt they'll repeat it.

They've been busily shoring up the legitimacy of the Teabaggers for a couple of weeks now.

[Oceansaway]

3. K&R...n/t

[samplegirl]

4. They simply are

part of the tea party as far as I am concerned.

[HopeHoops]

5. Yeah, well THAT would be a shocker!

:eyes: :sarcasm:

6. "Picnic & Tea Party", complete with plastic tea set and imaginary tea with Miss Wuffles the doll?

[AlbertCat]

16. I Like the "Open carry family picnic"

I see Dad with a gun strapped on, Mom has hers under her frilly apron, the teen agers are laughing and pointing theirs at passing cars, and little baby "snookum's" gun is just laying loaded and ready on top of his yellow gingham blanky....

Ahhhhh.... so family friendly this open carry picnic! No one's gonna fuck with their family fun!

[ChicagoSuz219]

7. I hope they call out the National Guard. n/t

[Catshrink]

22. They can't

the Guard is off fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[ChicagoSuz219]

31. True... still...

...there must be someone they can get. Too close to home.

[old mark]

8. Saw several comments on another site saying that Obama had set these

guys up and that they were "good christians". I guess the bombs and intent to kill police and rescue workers is some sort of Easter ritual.

9. Well, DUH!

Sheesh CNN...you think this group of WingDingNutz would support Progressives and Dems?

Duuuuh!

[WileEcoyote]

14. Took my comment

Actually there are plenty of people out there so freaking dumb that CNN must explain this.

[Subdivisions]

33. I checked to see if anyone had already said it. Thanks. n/t

[Joey Liberal]

11. Surprised that CNN reported on it. nt

[jaysunb]

18. Bingo !

My first thought....

[GreenPartyVoter]

25. same here

[louis-t]

12. Good, because I was getting ready to write an email

I was very disturbed this morning to see the headline "FBI targets Christian Militia" at CNN. They were saying they got the "Christian Militia" part from a "neighbor". I was ready to tell them how irresponsible that was and if they couldn't get verification from FBI that they were actually "targeting" a specific group, then they should hold off on inciting right-wing Christian crazies. Short leap to "Obama is targeting Christians".

[Journeyman]

13. They support Open Carry? I like to keep my bottle in a brown paper bag. . .

protects the innocence of youth and the sensibilities of the teetotallers.

[pinboy3niner]

15. Obama rounding up opposition tea party patriots?

I guess Glenn Beck can resurrect his story on the construction of American gulags. Looks like they're finished and ready to receive guests for their grand opening! Faux News ought to be a real hoot today.

[bowens43]

21. tea-baggers are not patriots. nt

[pinboy3niner]

23. I was being sarcastic. nt

17. "FBI raids Tea Party Compound" - Tea Party Patriots site

19. DU's own resident Tea Party apologist to show up and say,

"It isn't true! It isn't true!!" in 3...2...1...

[Lucky Luciano]

20. Hopefully they will be charged and convicted as terrorists.

Probably a bunch of terrorist cells in the tea party movement.

[LeftinOH]

24. ..."shooting events open to public". This'll be messy. n/t

[Winterblues]

26. Notice how well their pop guns served them....

:shrug: They sure talk the talk but when it comes to walking the walk they fold up quickly without so much as a shot fired..What bravery they have shown....

28. http://michiganmilitia.com/

if you dare

[Maru Kitteh]

29. I do hope they continue. It's not a suggestion, it's an illumination of the truth.

[Democat]

30. Tea Party Terrorists?

Maybe the CIA will round up their leaders and waterboard them to get some extra evidence?

[Amonester]

32. tearorists (for short)

and (almost obviously...) the alCIAda network seems to be on their side (as always...)

[misanthrope]

34. What?!? Next thing you'll tell me is Ricky Martin's gay!**nm

[WeekendWarrior]

35. I find it ironic that

the "right to bear arms" crowd seem to go out of their way to make the rest of us think that maybe that's not such a great idea.

[TexasObserver]

36. Where were these guys between 2001 and Jan 20, 2009?

Why did they suddenly decide it was time to challenge government? They got beat fair and square in a bunch of elections nationwide.
