Do you have a link on Tea party threatening violence never heard that anywhere. I did here about the guy that brought a gun but it turned out not to be a part of the tea party later on. There was also the two people that had the racist sign at the rally on the Mall in DC the one the senator went off about to find out they were not part of the tea party either it was a set up to cause that kind of response. You should not make a bunch of constitutionalists and people that care enough about the country to make sure he was a citizen out to be the boogeymen there has not been one reported incident of violence with these groups. And like me and a lot of people I served with we wanted to know why it was taking so long for the president to provide his paper work and why did go to school in muslim schools as a child in muslim countries. You would want to know the same thing yourself if you have to follow orders sent down by him and take other peoples lives you could refuse on the battlefield probably be shot or be thrown in a military jail for treason.
