[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 797274, member: 24302"] The Tea Party came about because people were concerned about being forced to accept gov't control of their healthcare decisions as well as an overall increase of gov't intrusion into their lives which included too much spending that was going to be passed onto taxpayers. These were legitimate concerns as no administration has attempted as much so fast to change America. Does the rhetoric get heated? Sure, just as liberals constantly attack Bush and have done so for over 10 years now. The gist I get from liberals is that no one must criticize Obama et al or you are a racist, insane, murderous rube. As if criticism should only be of conservatives. It's a 2 way street, but unfortunately there's always the possibility a nutcase will go too far. But saying the unspeakable acts of a very disturbed man is indicative of typical Tea Party members is trying to take advantage of a terrible tragedy to demonize those who's beliefs differ from your's. That's hatemongering, and exactly the kind of poison that's tearing at the fabric of this country and is laying the framework for civil unrest and possibly worse. [/QUOTE]
