Kuhner: Tea Party ‘terrorists’? The ruling class comes unglued

via World Tribune.com bullet quotes

• Mr. Biden joined several Democrats in accusing conservative House Republicans of behaving like “terrorists.”
• Mr. Biden claims he never said them. For the record: I don’t believe Mr. Biden.
• Contrast this to the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Arizona Democrat, which triggered a huge — and largely manufactured — debate about the devastating effects of incendiary rhetoric.
• Mr. Obama even urged a new “national discourse” based on “civility.” That was then; this is now.
• The much-touted spending cuts are meager and mostly illusory.  Instead of celebrating, progressives are fuming. Why? [comment:  see earlier post today, it is all about raising taxes, much higher tax rates]

They are shaping the battle space for the commission which is to consider how to get the next round of deficit reduction.  Keep in mind that the Bush tax cuts are already due to expire in 2013.  These do not count as deficit reduction.  Any new tax increases will come in on top of that.

Update:

It has been said that great minds think alike.   Well, here you are.

But his came first.   Sigh.
