"The Tea Party Did It!"

Ace of Spades collects the various moments when the Tea Party was initially blamed from some massacre or outrage, only to have the media have to walk-back the claim.

It's so easy to forget these tragedies, which were so captivating at the moment, like the Aurora shooting will be in a few months, and to forget, as well, the constant, repetitively identical "mistake" made by the media that has so far failed to link the Tea Party to a single instance of political violence. On the other hand, Muslims and Occupiers and nut-job leftists crop up regularly as the actual perpetrators.

It's all proof then of the iron maxim that when someone is accusing you of doing something you would never think of doing, you can bet they are doing it.
