The Tea Party is not a fringe group, nor is it even a radical fringe group. So your poll is faulty.

You did not address the OP as most liberals would not since they support domestic terrorism. Nothing was stated about present day, you injected that into the argument when it was not part of the argument. Your vote alone shows you support orgnizations that target civilians.

If you have any information about current activity by the Weather Under ground you should post a link to it.

Well, if you were looking for a fair comparison, why not just compare the Tea Party to the OWS? Personally, I only view one of these groups with a radical message outside mainstream current policies while the other group was mainly anti-tax.

OWS was barely a fart when talking movements

Of course I did. You stated that the Weather Underground was around. It isn't. As they aren't around, comparing them in terms of "who is" is flawed. :shrug:



Lol, your statement after being shown for making a flawed poll is to call me a Muslim? Oh yeah! You've really convincing everyone that the Tea Party isn't a radical xenophobic group now ;) - What else? Lol, you're going to go on a rant about banning immigration like some of your fellow Tea Party members? Look, face it. The WU is harmless. It was even harmless in the 70s. It had no political power. It had no traction with the anti-war movement. It was a one time thing that ended up killing more WUO members than anything else.

The Tea Party? They've gotten people elected to stand behind radical right wing ideas. What's even more radical about them is that they have morons like Brewer & Cruz bandwagonning to out right wing each other. It's a good thing they're now a relatively weak force even within the Republican Party.

No, you made out like they had to be around, I only compared the organizations and their ideas, nothing more. You injected the strawman that was never part of the OP to begin with, classic liberal playbook all the way.

Just because some left wing loonies think something is fringe or radical doesn't make it so.They are not normal people.

The only current activity that I know of from the Weather Underground is weather reports, you know like- is it going to rain tomorrow?

I agree they didn't last very long, but perhaps that speaks more for the fact they had no large organization controlling them from the top down like its counterpart.

The OWS was not really rooted on any one central issue or cause. Past movements like the Women's Rights, Labor movement, Gay Rights, and the Civil Rights movement all had a definite message that was focused and well organized. Those movements did spark change.

Comparing an outfit which no longer exists to one which does isn't 'fair and balanced'.

The Weather underground has been gone for like over forty years now. Perhaps we should be worried about August Spies and Albert Parsons as well?

The Tea Party is the best thing that has ever happened to the United States. If you are against the Tea Party, then you are wrong. There is no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

The Weathermen obviously...they used actual violent terrorism, something I've never heard the Tea Party accused of.

actually their views are pretty consistent with what founded the country. Its only radical because so many americans have become wards of the state suckling on the public teat.

The Tea Party is worse by default, since it's the only one still around.

The standard didn't change at all.

Hitler was worse.
Obama is worse.

Notice the usage of past and present tense there.

It wasn't meant to be a serious post in the first place. It was meant to make fun of the stupidity of asking which of the two groups is worse when one has been inactive for 40 years.
