The power of Fox News, Talk Radio, and the Tea Party...

... is that they can infect anyone into committing Hate Crimes. Anyone, even activist working for the People's Party and harmless art students working for Peace.

Why else would the MSM is quick to blame the Right and now the Tea Parties whenever there's violence?

Unfortuantly reality doesn't really support their Narrative.

Mean old reality. Can't we all just pretend that this violence is coming from the Right wing? Instead of disgruntled Democratic campaign staffers and "drunk art students working for peace organizations."

And looking back in history here's some anti-science terrorism.

William Jacobson explores the narrative spinning. And goes with the money quote from Jim Treacher.

Here’s how it works: When 19 Muslim terrorists fly planes into buildings and murder thousands of people, it’s not a reflection on all Muslims. Or any Muslims besides those 19, for that matter. But when a drunk A-hole in the same neighborhood yells “As-salaam alaikum! Consider this a checkpoint!” and stabs a Muslim cabbie, it’s a reflection on all opponents of the Ground Zero Mosque.
