Bachman?  What about all of those mass-murdering Tea Party types?  At least ABC News is out there to tell us the truth!

* September 2009: The discovery of hanged census-taker Bill Sparkman in rural Kentucky fueled media speculation that he’d been killed by [b]anti-government Tea Partiers[/b]. In fact, he’d killed himself and staged his corpse to look like a homicide so his family could collect on life insurance.
 
* February 2010: Joe Stack flew his small plane into an IRS building in Austin, Texas. The media immediately suggested that the [b]anti-tax rhetoric of the Tea Party[/b] led to the attack. In fact, Stack’s suicide note quoted the Communist Manifesto.
 
* That same month, a professor at the University of Alabama, Amy Bishop, shot and killed three colleagues at a faculty meeting. The [b]gun-loving Tea Party [/b]came under immediate suspicion. But Bishop was a lifelong Democrat and Obama donor.
 
* March 2010: John Patrick Bedell shot two Pentagon security officers at close range. The media went wild with speculation that a [b]right-wing extremist [/b]had reached the end of his rope. Bedell turned out to be a registered Democrat and 9/11 Truther.
 
* May 2010: New York authorities disarmed a massive car bomb in Times Square. Mayor Bloomberg immediately speculated that the bomber was someone upset about the president’s new health-care law. The media trumpeted the idea that [b]crazed conservatives [/b]had (again, they implied) turned to violence. In fact, the perp was Faisal Shahzad, an Islamic extremist.

* September 2010: James Lee, 43, took three hostages at the Discovery Channel’s headquarters in Maryland. The media speculation was unstoppable: Lee was surely a [b]“climate-change denier”[/b] who’d resorted to violence. Oops: He was an environmentalist who viewed humans as parasites on the Earth.

* January 2011: Jared Lee Loughner went on a rampage in Tucson, Ariz. Again the media knew just who to blame: the [b]Tea Party and its extremist rhetoric[/b]. In fact, Loughner was mostly apolitical — a conspiracy theorist who, to date, has been judged too mentally incompetent to stand trial. [/quote]

There are 2000 hate groups stomping around in the woods in the US.  I bet every single one of them voted Republican in the last two elections.  Most of them have compounds with weapons.[/quote]
