Head Tea Bagger Heckles President

In Iowa yesterday, leader of one of the many tea bagger factions, Ryan Rhodes, went head to head [no pun intended] with President Obama concerning the current mode of political discourse.

Rhodes shouted out that the president's calls for more civility in politics had little chance of coming to pass after "your vice president is calling people like me, a Tea Party member, a 'terrorist.'"

"I absolutely agree that everybody needs to try to tone down the rhetoric," President Obama said, before going on to detail some of the more explosive charges that conservatives have laid against him.

"In fairness, since I have been called a socialist who wasn't born in this country, who is destroying America and taking away its freedoms because I passed a health care bill, I am all for lowering the rhetoric."

Obama and Rhodes later engaged in an animated conversation as he greeted supporters on a rope line after the event, and the activist later told reporters that he believed that Obama was indeed a socialist.

When you hold the entire country hostage over some make-believe budget cuts to supposedly cut the national debt of which $11 trillion came from your party, that's terrorism.  There's no other word or phrase for it.  But I love how it's okay for the tea bagger to call the president a socialist but he yells, screams and cries like a little baby over being called a name himself.  Get ready for more of this.  This is only the beginning.  President Obama will get heckled many, many more times by people even crazier than this idiot.
