Huge manhunt for survivalist gunman who has promised mass murder after shooting two troopers, leaving one dead, in ambush

Hey Hail,

I'll say this much. Tying this to the TP is a stretch. Don't go down that path, you're better than that.

I don't think they are explicitly involved. I do think the sort of anti-government sentiment promoted by 'the movement' (such as it is) has a certain appeal to extremists.

I know, but you should be careful. Such generalizations aren't helpful no matter which group is affiliated.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

So he was with The Occupy movement?

There were armed anti-government types standing with the Occupy movement? What are you smoking?

Well of course it will get the usual suspects riled up, you've got to have a bit of fun with these things.

I don't think I'm wrong in what I'm saying. Here's another example:

There's as much proof of that as there is of this crazy being a Tea Party supporter.

If only you had started out having fun, instead of behind deadly serious.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Not at all. Not even close. I've seen armed anti-government types around tea party rallies. Tons of them. One could say they were somewhat dominating.

No such thing can be said about the occupy movement.

It's time to put that pipe down.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Hold your horses. Now I never actually said he was a tea party supporter.

I do think that the tea party promotes an anti-government ideology that is attractive to violent extremists.

You still have no proof. Can I have my pipe back now?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

The problem with the tea party, as I said, is that it isn't a single, unified movement - there are many groups calling themselves tea parties. There is no central leadership and the only unifying message common to all is one of anti-establishment that varies in tone.

You should take it to the bathroom.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

No, you can't. Because it would appear that you are looking for proof of a claim that nobody - least of all me - has made in this thread.

No he's not.

I know. I try not to bait them, lest I become like them.

Yep, no surprise.
