The poll might as well have been started by a conservative, designed to trigger black or government bashing...
One just can't tell, the options are provocative in all directions.

To equate the tea party with white separatists shows the ignorance of this thread.

How about the TSA, IRS and progressive communists?

The most dangerous terrorist groups are people who follow corrupt politicians and social activists like sheep. The pen is mightier than the sword, just look at all the new laws we are being terrorized by.

You'd have a hard time convincing any conservative of that by the way you framed this poll.

Not another one sided poll.

It is very simple, my narrow-minded friend. The corperations are the ones who run the government and thus own the politicians (teaparty, refuticans and dumbocrats) which makes dumb-azz laws that may lead into invasions or at the least interventions in other governments business. This in turn upsets foriegn governmental rebels which in turns vents their fraustration on the people of the United States. Do you realize that Corperations are the backbone to regulations in this country due to their powerful lobbyist? Do you really think that we would have gone into Iraq or even been involved with Libya if it was not for the corperations?

Anyone else noticing how the word "terrorism" is morphing in definition from "the act of instilling terror in people" into something the left wants to pin on conservatives? More left wing spin by using "terrorism" to describe a conservative grass roots movement like the Tea Party.

Again, that is just one half of the story. The two other American options on the list are as much or little terrorist organizations as the tea party is.

If conservative people were more objective and reasonable, one could take them more seriously and have a meaningful dialog with them...

Well since you asked!

I have yet to hear anybody from Al-Qaeda say they were going to take the full faith and credit of the United States "Hostage" to achieve it's political goals.


Mitch McConnell, hostage taker
Quote:
This quote from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been making the rounds today, and with good reason. It’s interesting from a variety of angles.

After [the debt-ceiling fight] was all over, Obama seemed to speak for revolted Americans — the kind of people who always want a new Washington — when he described the government as “dysfunctional.”

But at the Capitol, behind the four doors and the three receptionists and the police guard, McConnell said he could imagine doing this again.

“I think some of our members may have thought the default issue was a hostage you might take a chance at shooting,” he said. “Most of us didn’t think that. What we did learn is this — it’s a hostage that’s worth ransoming. And it focuses the Congress on something that must be done.”
That's what terrorist do take hostages and make threats to those hostages to achieve political goals.

Liberals in DC used the word "terrorist" to describe the Tea Party. The media ran with it and now it's "OK" to describe the Tea Party as "terrorists". No one of any note has been quoted as describing the ACLU or NAACP as a "terrorist organization". So throwing those two organizations into the same poll, for "balance", is meaningless. The ONLY true "terrorist" organizations on that poll are the Taliban and Al Qaida. To even suggest that the ACLU, the NAACP or the Tea Party are "terrorist organizations" is disingenuous. None of those three have ever engaged in any known act of terrorism.
