Yes, the tea-bagger hit parade will do anything to be right (pun very much intended). Apparently, they have stooped to an all time new low. Tea-party nation is now on a feverish email campaign with the ever so mandatory every leftie is out to get them kinda thing.
TPN founder Judson Phillips, in an article linked off the e-mail “The shooting of Gabrielle Giffords and the left’s attack on the Tea Party movement,” described the shooter as “a leftist lunatic” and Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik as a “leftist sheriff” who “was one of the first to start in on the liberal attack.” Phillips urged tea party supporters to blame liberals for the attack on centrist Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, who was shot through the head and is now fighting for her life, as a means of defending the tea party movement’s recent electoral gains.
“The hard left is going to try and silence the Tea Party movement by blaming us for this,” he wrote. Clinton used the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing to “blame conservative talk radio, especially Rush Limbaugh” and “The tactic worked then, backing conservatives off and possibly helping to ensure a second Clinton term.”
“The left is coming and will hit us hard on this. We need to push back harder with the simple truth. The shooter was a liberal lunatic. Emphasis on both words,” he wrote.
A tragedy has just happened where a congress woman is fighting for her life and six people lost their’s, including a 9 year old girl who didn’t do anything to anyone and the tea-party is not only using this tragedy for their own partisan gain, but also to cover their own asses with their own lies. I mean the “leftist” shiriff? Really! Why? Because he’s doing his job? Ah yes, I forgot, the right hates people who do their jobs properly.
Instead of renouncing the violence that took place, they’re practically endorsing it but blaming the other side for it.
Stay classy, tea-baggers!
That is why the far right is such a tough enemy to defeat. They are willing to sink far lower in terms of depravity then we are. In fact we cannot fight them on their level without losing who we are.
However I believe that in the end we will prevail in spite of this not being a fair fight.

The question is, by the time we prevail, will it be too late? Will we have already passed the point of no return?

That is the question isn’t it, I wish had the answer.
What I do know is that a single event can alter the course of history. It could be the murder of some obscure Archduke, the imprisonment of a man in Africa or the murder of a 9yr old girl.
Yes, it will definitely be too late! If we really want to stop them we need to grow some collective testicles and STOP THEM.
And for the record, WWI was not about the assassination of Franz Ferdinand.
Usual crap from the left, I see. Loughner certainly was no right-winger. His love of the Communist Manifesto is but one piece of evidence. – http://www.themoderateseparatist.com/2011/01/leftist-attacks-own-left-blames-tea.html

Because he read The Communist Manifesto, you presume he’s left winged? Is that your only proof? you’re going to have to do better…The Communist Manifesto happens to be required reading for many a history and political science courses. If one took the class, you read it or failed the class. Next, genious.
Have you read what this guy says??? He’s not a leftist. He is on the fringe right. I don’t think it’s fair to blame the TPM, but spreading lies isn’t the answer either. Next we’ll say Hitler was far right? Nuts.
