Dems Says Bachmann Inspiring Tim McVeigh II
Fox News ^ | 4/15/10 | staff

Posted on 04/15/2010 9:41:00 AM PDT by reaganrevolutionin2010

Democrats, including Rep. Betty McCollum, launched into an assault on incivility Tuesday, saying incendiary words from members of Congress were inflaming tensions that could provoke another incident of Oklahoma City-style domestic terrorism.

"When Members of Congress compare health-care legislation to ‘government tyranny,’ ‘socialism,’ or ‘totalitarianism’ — in the hopes of scoring political points — it's like pouring gas on the fire of extremism," McCollum said.

McCollum's St. Paul office was one of a few that received an envelope containing gasoline-soaked tatters of an American flag and a letter that called her things not fit for print in this or any publication. Several police departments, including St. Paul and the Capitol Police, are investigating.

"The members of this House — Democrats and Republicans — have a duty and an obligation to end the dangerous name-calling that can only inspire the extremist militias and phony patriots," McCollum said. "In the most free, prosperous and greatest democracy on earth it is time to return to a civil, decent debate of public policy."

"I don’t want another 'Oklahoma City' to ever take place again," McCollum said. "Just as we would not give aid and comfort to al-Qaida, let us not allow the words of elected leaders give comfortable excuses to extremists bent on violence."

One of Betty’s opponent for her seat wants 3 debates with her this cycle. Betty is a great hider and that will not happen. He will hide her way to election day and hope to skate by.

Didn’t you get the mainstream media memo??

Opposition to Democrats is TERRORISM, just like opposition to the Nazi’s was.

Just wait until the “Protective Custody” begins for possible thought crimes.

The left has much more the fear from a Bachman than a McVey. He was an evil flash in the pan. She would destroy them, by revealing who and what they are, and destroying their legislative accomplishments.

And what the hell are Dems inspiring? The take over of the US by subrogation of the Constitution to a Marxist way... no thank you! McVeigh was a loner and accomplished only evil... we are America and will struggle against all evil, including subversives like the Socialist Democratic Party. We will struggle within the bounds of the law, but if the law becomes unlawful, we will struggle within the bounds of natural law, that is the rights the constitution acknowledges are ours from God. We are not deluded, though, the civil war instructs us as to what can happen in the history of man upon this soil.

WRONG!!! This bunch of thugs that is stealing and dismantling this country as we KNEW it will be the cause of any action of that sort. They are not listening to the majority. Those in power steal and rig our votes (ACORN) in order to stay in power. Those actions invite a backlash response, what ever that is. It’s the old Pot and Kettle scenario, basically, it is their call.

Seeing as how there have been numerous Tea Parties and no violence, I think they are wasting their time.

That's not how liberalism works. If the first lie doesn't do the trick, tell more of them. And bigger ones.

It’s only dangerous when it’s directed against them. But you already knew that.
