Tea Party sign threatens gun violence if health care passes.

Tea Party activists have gathered on Capitol Hill today for a “Code Red” rally against health care reform. Speakers at the event included Republican Reps. Steve King (IA), Michele Bachmann (MN), and Mike Pence (IN). The gathering was organized by Tea Party Profiteer organizations like FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity. ThinkProgress attended today’s rally and spotted a sign threatening violence if health care passes. The sign reads: “Warning: If Brown can’t stop it, a Browning can,” referring to Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) and a Browning firearm:

10. Lovely people. TPM is reporting that teabaggers who ascended on

Congress today called Barney Frank a "faggot" and John Lewis a "n***er." The only point that helps to drive home is how vile these people truly are.

At least we know what kind of scum we're dealing with, and GOP can have them.

[and-justice-for-all]

11. It is one thing to protest and another to make threats...

paging the Secret Service and FBI!!

12. Teabaggers to Americans: If your sickness won't kill you, we will

Murderous bastards!! Lock'em all up and throw away the key and see how tough they really are.

16. Blowhards.

Their bark is not only worse than their bite, it's very ugly indeed.

Oh, how I wish someone got an image of whoever hurled epithets at two of the most respected representatives in Congress.
