Just... Wow
We see a lot of do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do behavior in Missouri politics, but the St. Louis Tea Party managed to reach new heights lows in jaw-dropping hypocrisy this weekend.
Not that long ago, you may recall, local tea party leader Bill Hennessy, Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft and a few other yahoos delivered a coffin to Rep. Russ Carnahan's home. In Hoft's words, the protest was a peaceful deal, and they were just there to pray for "the millions of babies that will be slaughtered under the democrat’s pro-abortion health care bill" and "the handicapped and the elderly who will be turned away as they face the death panels created" in the new health care reform law (!).
But this weekend, Hennessy writes that "mounting evidence suggests the White House may have been complicit in SEIU’s terrorism (as defined by U.S. Patriot Act) of a banker’s teenage son."
And what is this "terrorism (as defined by U.S. Patriot Act)," you ask? A protest at the home of a Bank of America executive in Washington, DC.
Obviously, this SEIU "terrorism" is completely different from really quite similar to the tea party protest.
Anyway, it's good to see that Hennessy now thinks that staging an angry protest at a person's home pushes the limits of reasonable political discourse. We're standing by for Hennessy et al. to turn themselves in for criminal terrorist activity (as defined by U.S. Patriot Act).
