Breitbart: Carroll County Maryland Tea Party accused of violence

Democrats in

Maryland accused local Tea Partiers of having “violent tendencies

I went to Commissioner Haven Shoemaker's announcement today at the library, in spite of my concern that there would be violence. I'm just saying... http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/06/22/Tea-Party-Group-Banned-from-Town-Hall-Because-of-Maryland-Democrats-Smear

This is far beyond sad. I have my criticisms of the Tea Party folks and of the local Democrats - but I must say that fear of violence has never been a concern. I have witnessed Liberals trash places where they have held rallies. I have never worried about violence. I have worried about sheer nonsense out of both camps... I have never worried about violence from either the liberals or the conservatives in our community.

The only time I have ever worried about violence came from card-carrying Democrats when I worked for Civil Rights in the south in the early 1970s. I'm just saying...

TEA PARTY GROUP BANNED FROM TOWN HALL BECAUSE OF MARYLAND DEMOCRATS' SMEAR by MATTHEW BOYLE 22 Jun 2013 http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/06/22/Tea-Party-Group-Banned-from-Town-Hall-Because-of-Maryland-Democrats-Smear

Democrats in Maryland accused local Tea Partiers of having “violent tendencies,” resulting in them being banned by local law enforcement from attending an upcoming town hall event with their Congressman, Breitbart News has learned.

Local Maryland bloggers at Front Line State broke the story on Saturday morning, noting that “Carroll County Maryland Democrats have reportedly attempted to use the Sheriff’s department to keep members of a local Tea Party activist group from attending a ‘meet and greet’ with their congressional representative, Chris Van Hollen, on Monday June 24 at Caroll County Community College (CCCC).”

Van Hollen is the ranking member of the House Budget Committee

Michelle Jefferson of We The People (WTP), a local Tea Party group in the area, told Front Line State that she had spoken with Major Tom Long of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department when she returned home on Wednesday after the “Audit The IRS” rally in Washington, D.C.

Long told her that Don West, the recording secretary for the Carroll County Democratic Central Committee, had contacted the Community College’s campus security, the State Police, and the county sheriff’s office asking that We The People be banned from attending Van Hollen’s upcoming town hall event. He claimed the Tea Party group engages in what he described as “violent tendencies.”

It was later discovered that West, the Democratic Party official, filed an “interim peace order” against WTP’s Jefferson. Read more http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/06/22/Tea-Party-Group-Banned-from-Town-Hall-Because-of-Maryland-Democrats-Smear
