If waving the guns has the effect that these boorish people want then it is terrorism...

Think about it, GfinS...

My mom, former civil right activist in her prime but now frail and 90 years old, makes the effort to get dressed up (gloves and all) and pushes herself (with a walker) to her car and drives 3 miles (which to her is like a 100 miles), parks, get out and walks a block (again with her walker) toward a "public meeting" and all for naught because the Tea Party goons are there scaring everyone away, that ***IS*** ...

...***TERRORISM***...

They don't have to shoot anyone, though that has also occurred but poorly reported because the right wing owns the media, to have used "terror" to have their way... If someone has been threatened that alone in many states is a crime because it is traumatic for the victim...

Like I have said, when the Tea Party denounces these tactics and apologizes to the folks they have victimized, then we have a new ball game... Right now, it's the same old ball game...
