Kasz, its great that the Tea Party is condemning acts of violence and I hope that they refuse to allow these people in their ranks. However, let us not forget that it was Tea Party activists and Tea Party websites that posted addresses of Democratic Congressman's homes and offices, inciting people to 'pay them a visit.'
The sour turn in American politics is entirely the fault of conservatives. With the election of Barrack Obama, conservatives have become increasing rowdy and decietful to the extent that it greatly surpases any undemocratic political atmosphere that America has encountered in several decades. Republican congressman yelling, "you lie" and "baby killer" during speeches such as the State of the Union address is an outrageously uncivil action that hasn't been present in American politics in a very long time. Also, decietful accusations by Republicans, such as forced abortions and death panels to kill people's grandmothers, has angered Americans who actually believed their statements, inciting them to violence. And in all honesty, if I believed somebody was going to kill my grandmother, I'd probably become violent as well to prevent it from happening.
There is no doubt that conservatives, both those on the fringe and Republican congressman themselves, has changed America's political environment for the worse.
