Indiana Tea Party denies this is a threat to the President

[WillParkinson]

From Indiana's Tea Party group, who is denying that the billboard is a call to violence against the president.

The message, put up earlier this month, was paid for by We the People of Marshall and Fulton counties, a tea party group. The head of the organization, Don Nunemaker of Plymouth, said late last week that the message was meant as a call for action at the ballot box on Election Day, Nov. 6. He was vague about the threat voters are to “remove,” saying it’s up to individual voters to glean what they will from the message. He didn’t immediately return a call Monday seeking comment on the demonstration plans.

5. Time to alert the Secret Service. AGAIN.

6. I think it should be reported.

Maybe it alone is not enough to act on, but maybe there are other complaints and issues that this just adds to. I think SS / HS needs to at least be made aware of it.

7. The Tea Party loves to kick around violent rhetoric & imagery, doesn't it?

and politicize our armed forces.

8. I agree with it.

We need to purge the teabaggers from Congress in November. They are the biggest threat this country has seen since their ancestors started the Civil War.

9. Hope the Secret Service puts that motherfucker in a stuffy small room,

and sweats it out of him under some bright lights.

Cocksucker...

10. That's Absolutely Disgusting - And They Have The Gall To Be Upset With Biden's Statement....nt

11. I see... it's up to voters to clean what the threat is, but not what "remove" means

Nice try

12. I think the sign leaves enough room for interpretation

Any candidate can be the "second" threat, who can be defeated by voting in November. But since it was Obama policies that made the removal of the "first" threat possible, you could even consider it backhanded compliment!

13. Yeah - let's remove the tea party. They're a far bigger threat to America than Al Qaeda ever could be.

15. I can believe it

I was born and raised in Indiana until moving to Michigan five years ago.

This kind of attitude is so prevalent it's frightening.

I was shocked that Indiana went for Obama in '08...they hadn't gone for a Democratic candidate since LBJ. The state is so Republican it's almost generational: "I vote straight Republican because my daddy and grand-daddy did!"

The state was home to the first "Rush Room" in the country (Mishawaka).

It's not so bad in the major cities/university cities (South Bend, Bloomington, Indianapolis) but out in the rural areas it's almost like the Deep South.
