Talk about one's irony meter breaking (and "Godwin Strikes Again!"):
Quote:

TEA Partiers in the state have taken up a petition to have removed and arrested one hundred and eighty-nine law makers who voted to repeal the state’s controversial “stand your ground” law.
Quote:

Tea party Republicans in New Hampshire want to press criminal charges against state legislators…and kick them out of office. Two Republican members of the state House of Representatives and a former state GOP chairman have filed a petition to remove 189 members of the state House and file criminal charges against them for their March 27 vote to repeal the controversial gun law. The group claims that the vote violates the lawmakers’ oath of office, unconstitutionally challenges the Second Amendment and fails to adhere to state constitutional protections on life.
Now I don’t normally compare or call people fascist, but when I do it usually involves someone trying to arrest and imprison another for disagreeing on a political issue. Fortunately, the vitamin deficiency that prevents right-wing conservatives from properly absorbing irony has kept this group from realizing that they are advocating for gun rights, partly because they claim guns will keep them safe from oppressive political forces, while simultaneously attempting to use politics to oppress people they disagree with.

Yes America, this has what we have come to. Conservatives fearful that gun reform will eventually lead to fascist governments, that can arrest and jail people for disagreeing on politics, have decided to take the initiative and start pushing for the arrests early! In other words fascism minus all that bureaucratic paperwork! This early arrival only proves that the GOP really is the party of less government.

More of this fascist avant-garde rhetoric can be read at their Facebook event page here. A note of warning, however, these proponents of “stand your ground” (or at least the creators of the event, which was supposedly held this past Saturday) don’t like it when you comment and…well…stand your ground.

Who knows, someday opponents to this group (and others like them) may all find themselves being the target of a petition to be jailed for disagreeing. If that occurs we can all at least take a breath of relief since our jailing will be in the name of Republican fascism…I mean 2nd Amendment liberty.

God bless America! http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/04/18/new-hampshire-tea-party-seeks-

I know-- let's burn down the state capitol, and then meet at a beer hall, and take over the government.

That appears to be about the mentality. Sadly ironic, given how much they adore to say WE're in favor of free speech, etc., until it's something on which we disagree...

So hey, Tea Partiers, YOUR "representatives" happily showing off the very hypocrisy you accuse everyone else of: congratulations!
