Man Charged With Stockpiling Weapons Was Tea Partier, Palin Fan

Only mention this story to point out how dangerous the type of rhetoric used by the Tea Party movement can potentially. For 99% of people out there, they know not to cross a certain line. But for those already mentally unstable, the violent messages that are a central part of the Tea Party movement can push someone to actually act out. And Sarah Palin irresponsible use of such phrases as "pallin' around with terrorists" and "death panels" is not only ridiculous, but irresponsible.

The Massachusetts man charged this week with stockpiling weapons after saying he feared an imminent "Armageddon" appears to have been active in the Tea Party movement, and saw Sarah Palin, who he said is on a "righteous 'Mission from God,'" as the only figure capable of averting the destruction of society.
