We cannot discount the effect the Tea Party has on the collective conscious of the country, which undoubtedly led to the conditions behind the tragedy, we cannot have news reporters from our side go off half-cocked like Ross.

But leave little doubt that the issues the baggers pontificate on are part of the most destructive organization in the history of the world, the republican Party.
