Maybe we should have a little compassion for the poor red hearted Republicans. This is a very confusing time for <a href="http://theamericanorgy.blogspot.com/2009/10/dear-republicans.html" rel="nofollow">them</a>. And don't even get me started on the <a href="http://theamericanorgy.blogspot.com/2009/09/milestone-in-orgy-of-tea-parties.html" rel="nofollow">tea parties</a>. Nice to find a kindred spirit in the great land of Zion (although you may not want to claim me). Curtis,

And don’t even get me started on the tea parties.

As far as tea-parties are concerned, I don't think those protesters are on the same level...they, I do believe, are honestly concerned about where the country is headed...but I see the actions of these commentators as instigating the crowd and creating artificially high levels of tension in the political debate. Jill,

I will agree that some of the Republicans you're referring to are wrong, ...but treason, if I'm not mistaken, is a crime still punishable by death. So, if you think name calling, and incorrect spelling on signs at these so-called "tea-parties" is an act that deserves capital punishment, perhaps you are just as wrong as the conservative teabaggers.
