The violent, anti-government rhetoric voiced by the suspects in the Las Vegas cop killings, who allegedly draped a Gadsden flag over their victims and proclaimed "the Revolution has begun," is eerily similar to that heard from New Hampshire Tea Party activists.
Match the threatening, anti-government quote to the political figure or alleged cop killer who delivered it:
_____ 1. “If things continue the way they are, there may be a day or a time where firearms and ammo are necessary. It happened in the Revolutionary War. I’d like to think we’re not there yet, but as things continue to unravel, that may be the next step.”
_____ 2. “This is the America that you all live in today and it has to end. Now I’m telling you right now, it’s going to take, in my view, a little blood. It’s going to happen. This day is coming and you better be willing to pay for it.”
_____ 3. "We live under despotism! It is our right, it is our duty to abolish it. Our founders gave us the tools to defeat tyranny. Time to pick up that shovel and dig some graves for their henchmen. Time to take that rope and tie it in that very special knot. Violence is a cleansing agent, lets disinfect our government.”
