I made no comment... I just figured if someone here was crass enough to start posting about how one side was using it, then certainly the Tea Party Express deserved equal recognition.

Yes, it's their own fault. They "brought it on themselves" by "not doing their jobs" (according to the right-wing wackos...) That gives someone the right to shoot them.
That has nothing to do with speech. Someone may consider your expression threatening too and therefor legislate to ban it. Where does this asinine bullsh** stop? If I paint a bulls eye on a map, someone somewhere may consider it threatening because of the association they make not because I made it threatening. Once again they are missing the point. It's all about how you want to portray something rather than with reality. The real "wackos" are those who spend their time legislating against every perceived threat real or imagined. If that is doing their job, then we need lots of help.

Ok get something straight, I am a republican, but far from being a wacho as you put it. And if anyone is to blame it is not the right or the left or anyone other the the nutjob that made a choice to buy a gun to use in the act of a crime. That simple. Nothing more to it.
