Obama's words following the Tucson shootings:
At a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized, at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who happen to think differently than we do, it's important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we're talking with each other in a way that -- that heals, not in a way that wounds.
'They have acted like terrorists,' Biden said, according to several sources in the room.
"Biden was agreeing with a line of argument made by Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) at a two-hour, closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting.
"“We have negotiated with terrorists,” an angry Doyle said, according to sources in the room. “This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money.” "
Sarah Palin Calls Vice President Joe Biden's Alleged Terrorist Comment 'Appaling,' 'Vile' "The former Alaska governor and tea party activist added: "To be called a terrorist because of our beliefs from the vice president, it's quite appaling, it's quite vile." "
Joe Biden's Tea Party 'Terrorists' "....It's no surprise then that Locke was at times highly suspicious of government and politicians in general -- both are the most likely threats to our self-preservation. It was Locke who famously said that since the people constitute the authority in a commonwealth and the politicians comprise our servants, a proper understanding of "rebellion" would have to be turned on its head: it is indeed government that perpetually threatens to rebel against the people."

Gone Berserk: What’s with Calling the Opposition ‘Terrorists’? "All of this name calling is supposed to remind the public that the tea party and those who agree with them are “extremists.”
But what is “extreme”? You can start by saying that running a $1.4 trillion deficit — recession or no recession — is “extreme.” You can also call it “obscene,” “nauseating,” “incomprehensible,” “irresponsible,” “imprudent,” and throw in a “nutzo” for good measure. And don’t get me started on what you should call running trillion dollar deficits for as far as the eye can see. " Rick Moran
Jonah Goldberg : To Hell with You People "So flashforward to this week. Tom Friedman — who knows a bit about Hezbollah — calls the tea partiers the “Hezbollah faction” of the GOP bent on taking the country on a “suicide mission.” All over the place, conservative Republicans are “hostage takers” and “terrorists,” “terrorists” and “traitors.” They want to “end life as we know it on this planet,” says Nancy Pelosi. They are betraying the Founders, too."
....
"...the same reporters, editors, producers, and politicians are going to insist that blood was spilled because of the right wing’s rhetoric.
"Well, go to Hell. All of you."
