Some may be ,but most are also law abiding citizens and senior citizens and may I add include many jews who are opposed to the president's "policies". As far as I know, and I do know many fellow jewish people, including my 80 year old jewish in-laws , who attended these tea parties, they were for the most part peaceful, with the exception of the Obama supported SEIU unions, who are the only ones to have been involved in violence. The ADL by issuing this report in the way that they worded it, insults every american, jew or non-jew who disagrees with government policy and implies most conservative talk show hosts are inciting violence which is absolutely outrageous. Who created more violence, the tea party people or the ecoterrorists who show up at all the global warming summits and riot and have to dragged away by the police? The report creates a very "chilling" atmosphere, which implies if you dare disagree with "this" administration, and even "peacefully" demonstrate, you are creating a violent atmosphere. It is and hopefully will remain a fundamental right of every american to peacefully protest government policies it disagrees with.
