    That's how far logic is removed from the group now. I found it odd, and I now I find it frightening, given all sorts of nasty historical parallels. Once people have "the ultimate cause" (TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!!11! :mad: ) on their side, and "they know they're right," facts be damned, (LIKE OUR FORESKINFATHERS WANTED!1!1!! :mad: ) well...

    I do appreciate thumbs dedication in giving us an insider view of a more middle of the road version of a tea party activist.

    But hey, could a largely hispanic group start the... wait for it...

    Tea-quila Party?

    Vandalism vs "Tree of Liberty Is Refreshed With Blood Etc," carrying Guns as close to Washington DC as possible, "We Came Unarmed THIS TIME"

    I wonder what the difference is :confused:

    Vandalism carried out by admitted anarchists, not immigration protesters.

    Oh, but I forgot. There was an office fire at a paper company in Phoenix (the cause of which is unknown).

    I saw a firetruck roaring through downtown this morning. I think it's safe to assume that it was on it's way to a fire started by immigration protesters.

    I like where this is headed: constructive reasoning!

    Someone I know at work had the sad news that his parents house burned down over the weekend. The fire started "in the attic" allegedly. :rolleyes: Coincidence? May 1? Hello. Damn immigration protestors.

    To be fair to thumbs, the title for this thread is actually accurate. Thumbs wrote the "Waiting for the Immigration Violence Thread" and here we are, still waiting for any immigration violence to occur. I will monitor updates to this thread closely.

    Ok. Let's assume your statement is true and play a little game.

    Who would you rather have on your team?

    A racist or a violent racist?


    And KingCheetah, since there is no real evidence to support your statement, I'm going to also assume that it was just a personal perception, and as such, I'd like to say you have a lot of gall calling everyone in an organization liars.

    In fact, it's comments like yours and others on the left here that absolutely pushed me to joining the Tea Party and becoming an activist.

    I have liberal views but I never want or proud to be associated with anarchists, racists, bigots, or violence.

    Have you seen an anarchist invited to speak on stage at these anti-immigration rallies?

    Hey thumbs, this violence is just getting out of hand isn't it?

    Just yesterday, Ms. Gutierrez was working in her yard and threw a dirt clod at me when I demanded to see her immigration papers.

    Unless you are a policeman and she was breaking a law while gardening, I hope she didn't miss. :p

    The violence has started -- NSFW language.

    OMG, that is the best trailer ever. I can't believe the cast he has together for that movie.

    Folks, if you watch nothing else, make sure you see the very end of the video at the bottom of Cheetah's link. And yes, it is NSFW... probably not safe for Arizona.
