The Tea Party is just a product of the lies and fear the republicans have been spreading for the last 2 years. The republicans killed that 9 year old girl.

Blaming the Republicans or Tea Party members for this shooting is kind of like blaming the Democrats for the Fort Hood shooting ...

In what sense?

Because the shooter's political ideals have virtually nothing to do with the Republicans or the Tea party ... and if you can blame the shooting on these parties, you can blame any arbitrary shooting on the Democrats

 

So this shooting wasn't ideologically motivated at all?  One can’t simply draw a straight line from a political demagoguery to seemingly random acts of violence, just as how the member of this site hate the stupid shit Jack Thompson spews, but there is a level of culpability when political/ideological discourse strays from rational discussion and debate to calls for violence and incivility.  Evidently, we as a nation feel so, since we are arresting or seeking the arrest of Islamic leaders who promote such dialogue.  As for the Ft. Hood shooter, he far and away resembles the Tea Party rather than Moveon.org, imho. 

 

I have to wonder how exactly your drawing such a comparison is not an example of incivility you supposedly deplore. Are you inured to the ridiculousness of it because Kos runs around screaming, "American Taliban! American Taliban!"?

It's funny how the guy who tried to shoot up the Florida school board leaves an extensive list of links to left wing sites at the bottom of his suicide note, and very little was made of it in the media. But when a Communist Manifesto-loving Anti-Flag fan shoots a bunch of people, it's CLEARLY Sarah Palin's fault.

Wait...you are saying Clay Duke was a liberal...lol...nice one.
