Fareed Zakaria Compares Tea Party to Terrorists, 'Un-American'
By Matt Hadro | August 04, 2011 | 19:30

On Thursday's The Situation Room, Fareed Zakaria said the tactics used by Tea Party congressmen in the debt ceiling debate were akin to holding the country hostage and threatening to "blow up" the economy.

"So nobody has ever held a country hostage and say if you don't pass our policies, we'll blow up the economy, we'll blow up the credibility of the United States," Zakaria remarked on CNN Thursday. He called the recent debt ceiling fight "unprecedented" and slammed the Tea Party for its refusal to compromise.

1. Wolf Blitzer (in his best automaton voice)

"Thank you very much. Our next guest, Representative Joe Walsh."

2. And if Zakaria and his cohorts hadn't been spewing neoliberal propaganda for the last several

decades we wouldn't be in the mess we were in.

He also studied on Samuel Huntington--the guy's no progressive.

3. Truth hurts.

The tea party/GOP has engaged in economic terrorism.

4. Good for him. It's about damn time!. . . . . n/t

5. Why are these not considered treasonous acts?

treason
  Origin
trea·son
   /ˈtrizən/ Show Spelled

1. the offense of acting to overthrow one's government or to harm or kill its sovereign.
2. a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state.
3. the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery.

To my reading, these people are guilty by ALL THREE definitions.

And isn't our President sworn to protect and defend this country "from all enemies, both foreign and domestic"? I just really do not understand why this is not considered criminal behavior.

It is simply unconscionable to be elected to Congress and to do NOTHING but be obstructionist and outright destructive of our economy in such a time of crisis. They are playing with peoples lives for nothing more than greed and political gain.

What other person can come and threaten my life and my children's lives and not be charged with a crime?
