Uh, yeah. Got brains? As it happens, we saw the clip of this guy saying it. Talk about a "Whaa?" moment!

This is typical teabagger for me; I haven't the slightest idea what it's supposed to mean.

Whether the guy is conscious of it or not, the guy is advocating violent revolution over reasoned debate, not that we have much of the latter right now.

I'm not a fan of violent revolution because it would kill me and my wife. She has severe asthma, and any epidemic could kill her. Me, it would interrupt my supply of Vivaglobin, and then subsequent epidemics would kill me.

Here's the thing that I don't get. From what I understand, Obama is wanting to roll back the tax cuts that Bush put in place over the preceding eight years. Those tax cuts did not significantly affect me and my wife, and at that time we had a combined income of over $100k. So the only people affected by the "tax hike" are those making over $250k, which is a pretty small percentage of the country. If Bush had lowered taxes across the board, that would be one thing. But he didn't.

It's Fox-fueled radicalism, people getting to shout and scream their indignation without thinking.

I'm not sure the teabaggers even know what they mean. I think they just shout loud, angry things that sound good to them.
