I'm no fan of the Tea Party, but I'm a little turned off by the constant demonization, dehumanization and hypocrisy by those on the left who purport to be anti-hate, humanists ect.
Where is the Southern Povery Law Center wringing their hands about hate and violence toward a particular group? Where is the Anti-Defamation League denouncing the portrayal of right wing Americans as Zombies where the player can simply blow them away with an automatic weapon?
What kind of message does this send to American children, who are constantly turning to be out Jared Lee Loughner psychopaths or violent anti-racists like Harris and Klebold, the Columbine Killers?
Let's turn this around and say that a corporate funded right wing group produced a video game about murdering the DNC, pro-Illegal immigration and pro-abortion groups along with Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and other liberal pundits.
We'd never hear the end of it!

In a new free-to-play online game that's sure to worry as many on the left as on the right, players are sent on a mission to kill "tea party zombies," Fox News anchors, Republican politicians, lobbyists and even activists, using weapons like machine guns, shotguns, crowbars and machetes.
Though entirely based tongue-in-cheek, "Tea Party Zombies Must Die" contains politically provocative imagery, like walking through the offices of Koch Industries wielding a shotgun, or attending a sparsely populated tea party rally and killing activists with a crowbar.
It contains a variety of enemies, such as: "Generic pissed off old white guy;" "Pissed off stupid white trash redneck birther zombie;" "Expresses racist views anonymously on the internet modern klan zombie;" "Factory made blond Fox News barbie who has never had a problem in her life zombie;" "The 'we tricked the God people into believing in tax cuts for the rich' executive zombie;" and the "Koch Industries 'Koch whore' lobbyist pig zombie."
