From Jillian Rayfield, Talking Points Memo:
A Tea Party rally in Greenville, South Carolina over the weekend took some of the Tea Party’s violent rhetoric to new levels, with speakers attacking everything from President Obama’s citizenship to Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sexuality.
The event was hosted by the Upcountry Conservative Coalition, a local South Carolina conservative group that describes its mission statement as:
We the People…are coalescing to reclaim our God given rights by restoring our Constitutional Republic.
The event took place at the Bi-Lo Center in Greenville, and featured former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) as its keynote speaker. Tancredo, who ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, said that Americans are “going to have to pray that we can hold on to this country.”
He added, referring to President Obama: “If his wife says Kenya is his homeland, why don’t we just send him back?”
Dan Gonzales, who chairs the Constitution Party in Florida, asserted that “this is the end of America right here,” and if the Tea Partiers “don’t get to work we’re going to be fighting in the streets.”
