Islamic terrorists plotting attacks in the U.S. are recruiting, taking credit for bombings and calling for even more violence – all with the help of a popular U.S.-based website: YouTube.
In fact, the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan – a group White House counterterrorism czar John Brennan said is "closely allied with al-Qaeda; they train together, they plan together, they plot together" – maintains a YouTube channel for posting news and violence-inciting rants.
"Today, dated 19th April 2010, through media I want to convey an important message to the Muslim ummah," states a video still viewable on the group's YouTube channel, reportedly with the voice of leader Hakeemullah Mehsud to the "ummah," meaning the spread of Muslims throughout the globe.
"America, which is the biggest evil of this world, [has] savagely massacred millions of innocent Muslims," the video continues. "From now on, the main targets of our fidaeen are American cities."
The video, which begins with the words "A message to the Muslim ummah and a warning to USA and NATO allies … step back or get ready to be destroyed," then shows a map of the U.S. with explosions erupting throughout.
"America/NATO, you will pay for your crimes," it concludes.
The Middle East Media Research Institute, a non-partisan, non-profit group that translates and analyzes Middle Eastern communications for Western nations, also discovered a video on the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan page claiming credit for the fizzled bomb scare in New York City's Times Square.
The video, since removed, but still viewable elsewhere on YouTube, declares, "We Tehreek-e-Taliban with all the pride and bravery, take full responsibility for the attack on Times Square. We also congratulate the Muslim ummah with all the pleasure and happiness."
The message appears beneath the words, "Allah (swt) is with the steadfast and patient ones. We will break the jaws of Satan's USA."
MEMRI has also been tracking YouTube posts of U.S.-born Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki.
Al-Awlaki, who has been labeled in the Saudi media as "the Bin Laden of the Internet," has also been linked to Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Christmas Day "underwear" bomber and the attempted Fort Dix bombers.
According to a MEMRI report last year, Al-Awlaki's lectures, sermons and compilation videos supporting his jihadist philosophy were viewed on YouTube nearly three million times and counting.
"These clips include Al-Awlaki calling Muslims to jihad, expressions of support for martyrdom attacks and encouragement to kill American soldiers," writes MEMRI Executive Director Steven Stalinsky.

You truly are a waste of space.
Links to any tea party militants on youtube? Or even simpler, can you even identify a single tea party militant? I can give you a list of leftist fascist militants and terrorist sympathizers beginning in your house all the way to The White House.

You're not actually drawing a moral equivalency between jihadists advocating the physical destruction of the US and soccer moms protesting trillion-dollar bailouts and entitlement packages, are you? My hope is that you don't actually believe this bollocks, and you only want to fish for a rise out of a conservative-leaning message board.

Yeah, only tea baggers are militants
Did I say there weren't militants other than tea-baggers? NO. I said the tea-bagging militants are on there too. It is a way to get your message out to the world so it isn't surprising it is being used by both groups and other groups not mentioned.

My true colors are the red, white and blue of the American flag. Yours are red, white and blue of the stars and bars flag.

So instead of saying the tea party was militant, why didn't you use one of the ofther groups?
