Sebring Tea Party

I just read the comments on the Sebring Tea Party by Roger McAllister, and I disagree with his premise that Tea Party folks are potential criminals.
I have also noticed that nobody except Mr. McAllister stated that they were "disruptive." Political correctness has invaded the press and our daily life to the extent that it has diminished free speech, so that if one disagrees with this policy, you have no right to express your views.
The Tea Party folks have just as much right to speak as Mr. McAllister, yet he's labeled them as "un-American."
Instead of addressing the speakers as he said you wanted to do, he wimped out, using the media lie that Tea Party participants carry guns, of all things!
In closing, I respect Mr. McAllister's right to his speech, as is ours, which is guaranteed by the Constitution. The hope that he would respect the speech of those that disagree with him is probably a hope in vain.
