Yes, the Tea Party would really want to kill a pro-gun, anti-illegal immigration Blue Dog Democrat.

It's pretty sickening how so many people fly off all half-cocked in their desperation to make political hay out of such a horrible incident.

Consider this image below that the sarahpac website had up earlier this year.  She was opposed by the Palin camp in the last election period due to votes on the health care bill.  And note the cross-hairs used.  Factor in also people carrying guns to Obama speeches, and other extreme talk, with them angry about not being in power, and that is why the Tea Party is a top candidate.  Stuff like this below needs to stop.  You get an unhinged loon jumping on it, and blammo, you have more shootings.  And YES, that image was up on Palin's PAC website in 2010.

Nah. Intellectual laziness like the above post is what really needs to stop.

Oh, and here's an example of Democrats doing the same thing:

And another!

To be fair, richardhutnik is just parroting the line that this was an unusual, dangerous, and unacceptable approach that was repeated constantly on CNN and MSNBC; and probably was unaware that most national parties, in most elections, use a similar approach with a similar metaphor around the world.
