Tea Partiers threaten to form militias to fight the federal government
To supposedly stop the federal government from rolling over on the States and what-not.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=4341131&mesg_id=4341131

Just one question for the teabaggers...

Where were your militias when the Bush Administration tried to get abortion records, charged people with federal crimes when they were caught with marijuana and the States refused to charge them, when they tried to interfere with the Oregon's Death with Dignity act, the whole Federal Marriage Amendment thing, the suspension of habeas corpus, taking over the TSA, etc.

Where were the tea parties?
Where were the militias?

3. Are they all gonna hole up in a hole in the wall like a gang?

Are they gonna go live in the wilderness with all their militia arms and stuff.

I'd like to know their plan once they have this armed and ready militia. Or do they think it'll be OK just to go on back home and watch FOX for instructions?

I want to know what their plan is. Don't they think the government might take exception to being shot at by all these pot bellied 60 somethings?

8. Ok, so they form militias
and start patrolling the streets in open-carry fashion.

What are they looking for? What will they do when they find it? What will they do if the police/national guard try to stop them?

How will militias stop what they say they're fighting?

12. Do they have to bring their own walkers?
Or will the Teabagger Party supply them?

Hell, give them what they want, no socialist medicine for them, just take away theibr Medicare, and let nature run its course.

Five years, no more Teabaggers.

14. As much as I hate the way we're headed...
I think we need to send the freepers and the teabaggers to Somalia to see what a government-less society is like. And then to Finland to see what a truly EFFICIENT government is like.

17.  Unbalanced delusion tea baggers
FBI and DHS are tracking right wing extremism, but I see this as a rare example of them actually seeing a threat coming, and being ready to do something about it. For those of us old enough to remember Oklahoma City, I don't think we should be dismissive about the terrorist potential of the tea baggers, especially with Beck and Limbaugh stoking the fires .
