[quote=SD Realtor]Interesting you imagine this to be a tea partier.
So there are instances of tea partiers killing people?[/quote]
Not per se (as far as I am aware).
There are instances of terrorist acts committed by anti-government fundamentalists who claim constitutional justification.
The tea party movement does fall under the rubric of anti government constitutional fundamentalism.
And most fundamentalist movements have common threads.
People use a religious text that explicitly forbids killing and suicide to justify suicide bombings.
Similarly, people use the US constitution to justify militant violence in some sort of defense of the constitution (eg: OKC). Mind you the government systems being attacked have been upheld by the SCOTUS whose authority is explicit in article 3.
The original tea party (as committed by the sons of liberty) was a violent uprising against non-representative authority.
So its not a big leap to half-expect anti-government violence from a fundamentalist group that glorifies past anti-government violence.
