Of course the left would never disparage someone for political reasons.

I agree the TP guys aren't Brownshirts. If the TP recruits White Nationalist thug types for a paramilitary presence on the streets, THEN we'll be seeing 'Brownshirts.'

The TP guys in Congress DO resemble in attitude and scruples the Nazi minority in early days in the Reichstag.

Finn the tea party is the only group doing anything regarding the debt, and look at the wailing!

Or do we need a little man with big ears and graphs?

I haven't compared the left to brownshirts but I'm sure I could find some who do. Commie is about as far as I go and usually in jest

Can you make any corrections to the analogies I drew?

Hey do not throw a wrench into a weak economy during a fragile recovery and the Tea party
won't be likened to terrorists

Even with the best intentions, do you negotiate or wait till the last minute and then blackmail? All bluster and no clue. Isn't that the criticism levied at the OWS movement?

This is like the middle east, now that they have democracy they have no idea how to go about it and make it work. So instead of figuring out what to do, it's murder and mayhem.

I see no difference with the TP. They have no idea how to govern the country so guess what? Shut the government down regardless the cost to the country. When you wreck the economy tax revenue goes down the tubes first and you cannot get it back.

By repeatedly passing a law with a majority?

Those things were bills. Look up 'How a bill becomes law.'
