Tea Party sign threatens gun violence if health care passes.

Tea Party activists have gathered on Capitol Hill today for a “Code Red” rally against health care reform. Speakers at the event included Republican Reps. Steve King (IA), Michele Bachmann (MN), and Mike Pence (IN). The gathering was organized by Tea Party Profiteer organizations like FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity. ThinkProgress attended today’s rally and spotted a sign threatening violence if health care passes. The sign reads: “Warning: If Brown can’t stop it, a Browning can,” referring to Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) and a Browning firearm:

UPDATECameron Brenchley caught another shot of the signs:

UPDATERep. Andre Carson (D-IN) told The Hill that Tea Party protesters today called Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), a distinguished civil rights leader, the n-word.

When I hear stuff like this I'm so glad everyone has a gun............

This whole movement has me sick. Violence is not the answer to anything and IMO never will be. I understand their right to gather and protest, but this is taking it entirely too far. What's next?

Wow, thats nuts.

And that last sign just kills me. There is a HUGE difference between Obama and Hitler. The two shouldnt even be compared.

I do realize that most teanaggers are not like this but there is a very vocal minority that are making the rest of you look like racist, bigoted, white trash crazies.

So where are the people that were advocating for putting more guns in the hands of people who think like this?

It's not "people like this" they advocate the right that everyone has the right to bare arms! Everyone!
