I think there are just as many democrat/liberal racists as there are republican/conservative racists.  That also goes for those prone to violence (havent most of the mass shooting people been democrats?).

The democrats seem to be "everything" government and most conservatives don't think the government should be making decisions for everyone.

What is BS?

[teko]

BS.....best way to sum it up. imo

1. Tea Party has nothing to do with racists
2. Tea Party has nothing to do with anti-government
3. Tea Party has nothing to do with violence

The only difference in the rhetoric between them and the teaparty that I can see is they are the ones that pulled the trigger. The rhetoric that created the mindframe needs held responsible as well. It needs to stop.

I am not offended, just think it is BS to try to label them as "right wing" because that term is used so interchangable with Republicans. If they were some enviromental group and labeled left wing then I would think that would be BS also.

They have nothing to do with the Tea Party and to associate them with them is doing a diservice to millions of people.

They wanted to stir up everyone left and right.

But again to lump them with traditional "right wing" is just dishonest.

How about they are called who they are, racists idiots. Republicans and tea partiers don't hold anti-government ideas. They hold limited government ideas.

[teko]

Would you prefer they be called conservative cop killers? Or how about teaparty nutjob cop killers? Or republican cop killers?

If they were left wing cop killers or liberal cop killers, would you still be offended?

Because to me? They are right wing teaparty nutjobs which are the manufactured product of sights like fox news and alex jones.

And their motto is to stir up people against the democrats! AND to push that anti government conspiracy theory rhetoric that the weak among us take literally and then innocent people die as a result.

[Vance2335]

Talking about hate look at the title of the link..."right wing". Give me a break they have/had nothing to do with the traditional "right wing". Yet that term is used why? To sir up people against republicans.

I agree, but I don't see the hatefest stopping any time soon.  They compete against each other, and hate is a great motivator....apparently.

[teko]

True, but it could be because they had a hand in the project. These media and politicians need to stop the damn hatefest, both sides. Right now it happens to be the right, but in days gone by, just as bad on the left. Regardless, at some point, someone must share the responsibility.

The good news about Fox not covering the story is, they didn't have to go back 100 times and change what they previously reported.  CNN spent a day doing it.
