Nothing 'violent' about the tea party

Perhaps the most tragicomic aspect of those accusing tea party supporters of being "violent" (the most "violent" thing I have seen at a tea party is the speaker asking attendees to make sure and pick up the trash before leaving) is that it is the radical left that is currently, and historically has been, the one engaging in violence, from anti-war violence (how's that for irony?) to the situation, where FreedomWorks, one of the lights behind the tea party, has had to move its headquarters in D.C., due to repeated threats, including threats to use weapons against its workers.

The "violent" canard thrown at the tea party people is yet just another sign of desperation by those trying to change the focus from the fact that the Obama/Pelosi big government and even bigger taxes philosophy is destroying our economy, and, when all is said and done, actually undermining the moral fabric of this country.
