Yeah, they were not akin to warm hugs and cheek smooches.

Frustrated by recent political setbacks, tea party leaders and some conservative members of the Oklahoma Legislature say they would like to create a new volunteer militia to help defend against what they believe are improper federal infringements on state sovereignty.

Tea party movement leaders say they've discussed the idea with several supportive lawmakers and hope to get legislation next year to recognize a new volunteer force. They say the unit would not resemble militia groups that have been raided for allegedly plotting attacks on law enforcement officers.

"Is it scary? It sure is," said tea party leader Al Gerhart of Oklahoma City, who heads an umbrella group of tea party factions called the Oklahoma Constitutional Alliance. "But when do the states stop rolling over for the federal government?"

Thus far, the discussions have been exploratory. Even the proponents say they don't know how an armed force would be organized nor how a state-based militia could block federal mandates. Critics also asserted that the force could inflame extremism, and that the National Guard already provides for the state's military needs.

**Personal Note**

 

So everyone can attack me and not the message. This is not peaceful protest. These are the first steps to war. I want to again ask, is this your Tea Party.

A little news from the neighboring state of Missouri.

 

They've gone from outrageous to downright terrifying.

The Tea Party's rhetoric is so heated that the Capitol Police had to assign extra security to Claire McCaskill after a leading activist at a Tea Party rally told the crowd: "We have to kill the Claire Bear, ladies and gentlemen."

As if this violent talk wasn't enough, one of Claire's Tea Party-endorsed opponents was at the rally and refused to condemn the activist's remarks -- and the campaign's spokesman openly applauded the dangerous statement. In fact, only one of Claire's three right-wing opponents has spoken out at all about the threatening language used against this United States Senator and said that she "understood his frustration!"

Gosh, it took how long to find this???  

If true, this kind of talk is somewhere  between non existent and rare within the TEA party movement.  The rarity of this kind of stuff stands out to verify the fact that the TEA party is not violent.   Unlike the occupy movement.
