Tea Party Urgest Businesses to stop hiring people.

"One could argue that, if they feel they cannot make their America, then they will just try to destroy it in a bout of hateful pique. "

You're just realizing this now? I thought them nearly shutting down the world economy to get their way was evidence enough.

This article comes at no surprise for me.

Also I'm laughing at how the group that wants to SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT is somehow more patriotic and american than the group that wants to change our broken economy.

Its like...."Oh sure, shut down the economy and government, but at least you aren't a socialist!

...excuse me for one second -beats head on wall until I get a concussion- nope still don't understand what amount of stupidity possessed them to think this is a good idea.

What worries me is that after next years election these psychos could potentially flush... well, the world down the drain, American or not.

I knew the Tea Party was fulled by Insane Troll Logic but... this... do they think they going to get votes via this? In their blind focus they create their own weakness.

Again, do we actually have a good list of Tea Party members who are subscribing to this message?

I mean, one leader of the movement saying something stupid and hateful may shrink the tea party, rather than damage the economy.

Nope. The Infamous Koch Brothers finance almost the while damn thing

Yeah, but how many idiots they can get in the party per dollar of investment depends on the party's appeal.

^^^ Nope. No data available about how widely this is accepted among the other Tea Partiers.

And she's not even a "leader" as far as I've been able to find. She's just a wackjob who made a post on a web message board.

To add insult to injury, these are the same dudes fighting to cripple unions restrict the right to strike.

Working class people enacting economic pressure on the system is a tactic fit only for evil commies, but lockouts and hiring freezes are fair game... What a bunch of fascist morons!

There's been much talk about going Galt on Tea Party circles.

Right. So, wait and see policy.

Ah, of course, those two black hearted villains are supporting it.

This is just treachery of the highest order.

Way to go, Tea Party. You made a Hodi Jones of yourself.

How could this person possibly think this is a good idea? Even ideologically it's incredibly stupid. It really is the equivalent of Insane Troll Logic taken to a political/ideological level.

Well, I can sum up my reaction to this with a face palm macro but whatever.

Me being me, I'm trying to find some upside to what they're doing here. I can't find any, which really isn't surprising at all.

The logic is fairly simple.

The economy tanks, obama looks bad, he gets voted out. Tea Party wins.

The state of the country is completely irrelevant, they just want Obama gone.

It could burn for all they care.

It's not irrelevant, they just think that Obama will make it worse than a boycott would.

Well, if the liberals have a right mind, they'll publicize the shit out of this kind of thing.

Oh boy, The Daily Show is gonna have a field day with this...

One can only hope.

I dont get why people are surprised though that there some people in the Tea Party who think this

I'd imagine even the more moderate parts of the right are looking at this article right now and going "what the fucking fuck are they ON?"

this is what they are taking◊

Saying "this is stupid, they are stupid" repeatedly is pointless.

Agreed.

Well I sincerely doubt you're going to get anyone defending them.

oh, if only.
