Kill Glenn Beck, Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmanm, Sarah Palin, and a million other tea partiers in a video game. Fine, I accept the fact that crud like this is reasonable "artistic expression" under the first amendment, even if it's a rather badly-developed video game and lacks anything like good taste or sensible restraint (slapping the "Zombie" label on something seems this century's acceptable method to dehumanize a class of people, hmm?)

But let's turn the tables: Imagine if it was Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, and hordes of angry union mobs. THEN we'd be seeing calls for video game regulation, gun control, congressional investigations, etc. Not to mention creating a "Barack Obama" zombie-boss might get you a nasty visit from the secret service for creating a video game that suggests violently killing the POTUS.

I think you truly have the gist of the thing. Of course, someone has the First Amendment right to make objectionable material, especially when done in as a parody. The part of this that is truly disgusting is the lack of any condemnation from the left (as if that is a surprise) and thus the total hypocrisy on their part. Though he was a socialist (albeit a rather strange one), George Orwell hit it on the head with "Animal Farm" in the phrase "some are more equal than others". The LEFT can say whatever THEY want to say and everyone is supposed to bow to it like a universal truth, but if a conservative does ANYTHING of a similar nature, OOOH, "hate speech"...I despise those sort of people with ALL fibers of my being, I really do.

I thought it was fun to play for 10 minutes or so today.
I won't link it, but you can play at teapartyzombiesmustdie dot com.

Our time is better spent getting an opposing candidate identified and elected, rather than stooping to "I told you so's" and "if you can do it so can I's"

YMMV

Do you imply that I meant that conservatives should make a video game depicting similar stuff? NOT what I intended in the least, I assure you. Once again, it always seems to be to let the left say whatever they want to say, and the rest of us must meekly be quiet and accepting. And speaking only for me, I simply cannot do that any longer. They've had their way as long as I have been on this earth, since they ramped their rhetoric up in the mid to late 60's, and I'm no longer going to play by the rules of THEIR game, no pun intended.

Kill conservatives in Tea Party Zombies Must Die video game will surely the lead story on every network news channel. Just can't imagine liberals created a video game where tea partiers are murdered. But it's okay for liberals to promote violence against their opponents.
