Assaults of congressmen, claims of jihad and hostage taking. That tea party really is crazy.

Wait, this is Democrats? Fine with this forum then.

I hope Boehner's and the GOP feelings aren't hurt.

I agree with the hostage taking and terrorism parts. I think it's a pretty good analogy.

Calling it "terrorism" is pretty inflammatory. Strong words do seem warranted, though, when babies are going hungry.

Also, the same bunch causing the shutdown have called Obama every name in the book.

"Government terrorism" is the phrase that I heard.

Inflammatory? I suppose it is, given recent history. By the definition of the word though, I'd say it's fitting.

Is it terrorism, or just run of the mill extortion? I don't really care about semantics.

In fairness, I would be willing to lock Boehner and Reid together in a room to fight it out, then seal them both in permanently.
