My apologies if you were being sarcastic. It is incredibly difficult to discern sarcasm via text-only.

Does that qualify as "terrorism" in the US?
Because in some European countries, leftist groups (so-called "Antifa") are behaving like this and worse all the time.

So? 2nd amendmentand hold up signs saying that next time they may come armed. Some of them do come armed at these protest.
Source that they have committed acts of terrorism, and the ones running in the elections are the very same ones waving their guns around and yelling out racial slurs.However, instead of being regarded as a terrorist organization, or at least a hate organization, they're being nominated to run for political office.
Why am I regarding them as terrorist? Because they do use fear to get what they want, they've already proven that they're willing to intimidate and threaten members of our country if they don't get what they want, and they've already proven that they're not shy about coming to their protest armed. We have Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh egging them on ever so slightly.
The whole thing reminds me of when the KKK had several of it's members in political power.
Thoughts?

They have the ideology and the passion to return America to her roots, but they lack sufficient organization or expertise to be a considerable force at the moment.
Oh i dunno, Country is in a recession, still dealing with a war thats cost bazillions of dollars, ineffectual government that spends its time trying to appease the rest of the world rather than its own people. Oppositionist party, supported by some people in the government already. Sound familiar to anyone?

The Tea Party isn't anti Jew (or anti black). They're not even pro-white.

I dunno, before 2008, the Democrats and Republicans were kinda able to not produce death threats and vandalism.

Every benefit has its costs, and such a wide range of benefits resulting from the current healthcare reform have a wide range of costs as well.
