I am surprised that no one on DU has used this term.

When a handful of thugs hold this country's money hostage I believe it should be referred to as "economic terrorism." Therefore, tea party members are terrorists. Can I get an amen?

1. Amen!

I did tweet that Homeland Security should give us an orange terrorism level alert

[leftofcool]

3. Are they still doing colors?

12. I posted this image here on DU and tweeted it as well.

17. That's obsolete.

2. Actually, I called them Tea Party Terrorists in a thread last night.

I think that term needs to go viral, Twitter, FB, etc. Time for us to frame the debate for once.

[leftofcool]

4. I agree. Don't have a FB account or twitter but

will see what I can do on that.

5. Love it...going to tweet just that right now!

6. You mean Republicans. There is no such thing as a 'Tea Party'

and no members of said non existent Party. Not one member of Congress was elected as Tea Party, each and every one of them is a plain, simple Republican.
So sure, call them terrorists, but please stop claiming they are different from the Republicans, because they are not. There is no such thing as the Tea Party. It is at best a caucus of the Republicans.

7. There have been several threads in the last few days referring to them as terrorist

Here is one:

9. No amen

Sorry, but my newb ass has already seen that term here: Your usage makes four.

10. There is no Tea Party...

...just the GOP and its insane base. And they're all terrorists.

[yodermon]

11. I've been using that term... then again I don't post a lot :)

The Tea Party are political terrorists with an economic-bomb suicide vest strapped on.

and Amen

13. It's been used and I agree

I pointed this out he other day.

[aquart]

14. I certainly use it.

[sarge43]

15. Way ahead of you.

When I called my congress creep yesterday, I went rhetorical and asked who the hell was terrorizing me more -- a bunch of bottom feeders on the other side of the world or my "representatives"?

16. I have been calling them terrorists for a year

It actually started when they brought guns to town halls last summer.
