Talk politics.

On January 8, 2011, Congresswoman Gabriell Giffords (D-AZ), a member of her staff, and several of her constituents were shot by Jared Lee Loughner in a store parking lot in Tucson, Arizona. In the wake of the shooting, both sides of the political spectrum called for a stop to "vitriolic rhetoric" that was being blamed for the shooting, with most of the blame being laid by Democrats on Republicans (namely Sarah Palin).

Now, over six months after the incident, it seems the shoe is on other foot. In the past several weeks, we've seen the Congressional Black Caucus on the attack, with hateful speeches made by Maxine Waters and Andre Carson. Just yesterday, Teamsters President Jim Hoffa rallied the crowd in Detroit by saying "Let's take these son of a bitches out" in reference to the Tea Party. Both the White House and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (DNC Chair) have declined to comment on Hoffa's statement.

Today it was reported that a new online game will grant Hoffa's wish.



The game, developed by StarvingEyes (whose clients include NASCAR, Pepsi/Mountain Dew, and several companies in the entertainment industry) allows players to use a variety of weapons such as Uzis and crowbars to physically annihilate zombie versions of Newt Gingrich, Bill O'Reilly, the Koch brothers, and Sarah Palin.

Screenshots, anyone?


What do you know, the stereotypical image of a Tea Partier -- a KKK member.


Yet another stereotype -- the overall-wearing, trailor trash redneck, complete with rebel flag and Obama/Joker poster.


Zombie Sarah Palin (Hope they got the rights to use this image)


Yes, you too can bash the brains of Newt and Bill in the post-apocalyptic Fox News studio.

As one person commented (via NRO), it would be deemed racist and sexist if this were done with Democrats as the targets, so why is no one from the Left condemning this kind of thing when the Liberal-minded are at fault?

Whether people like it or not, Tea Partiers are part of the fabric of American politics. They're Americans who enjoy the same rights, privileges, and problems as every other American in this country. And believe it or not, there are black people in the Tea Party, too. Shocker!

A great political mind once said, "You must be the change you want to see in the world." If the rhetoric was so awful before Giffords was shot and THAT was the fault for the attack in the first place, why are Democrats trying to go back to that (or continue it since the rhetoric never really stopped)?
