Tea Partiers Ready for a — Violent — Revolution?

Last night during her speech at the Tea Party “convention,” Sarah Palin said the United States is “ready for another revolution.”
A few minutes ago I received this series of tweets (start reading at the bottom) from Tea Party Patriots:
The contradictory currents running through this are really something. First, Sarah Palin is now a rich woman, and she’s getting richer, yet the TPPatriots see her as their leader? Sarah Palin’s reference to a revolution was a not very thinly veiled reference to throwing Democrats, and in particular, Barack Hussein Obama, out of office. (I’ll give her the benefit of the doube — that she didn’t mean he should be killed.)
The TPPatriots want to throw pretty much anyone in power, in Washington or on Wall Street, out of office. Sarah Palin is on the side of big business. Yet she is calling for a revolution in front of a group of very angry people who want to lynch that same crowd. Sarah Palin is using the TPPatriots to further her own goals and she is so self-involved that she doesn’t realize she is stoking hatred of her own party backers. So how is this going to play out?
It’s crazy-making. Sarah Palin is walking a very thin line.
