For years, the Left has been trying to link the Tea Party with terrorism. Examples include:

• Vice President Biden agreeing with House Democrats that the Tea Party are terrorists. (Biden later denied it, but not convincingly.)
• Senate majority leader Harry Reid likening the Tea Party to “anarchists”.
• Semi-retired Congressional dumbass Barney Frank claiming that al Qaeda and the Tea Party are “aligned”.
• The New York Times accusing Tea Party-inspired Republicans of “economic vandalism” for opposing debt ceiling increases, the very stance that then-Senator Obama took famously in 2006. Other editorialists also referred to “hostage taking” and “terrorism”, or even called the Tea Party “totalitarian”.
• Media coverage in general showing great bias against the Tea Party. Some note that the media ignored real union violence, while covering imaginary Tea Party violence.
• The media repeatedly trying (and failing) to link the Tea Party to each new mass killer, such as: the Boston Marathon bombers, the Gabby Giffords shooter, the Aurora shooter (wherein ABC rushed to blame a certain Colorado Tea Party activist), the guy who tried to crash a plane into the IRS building in Austin (but who proved to be left-leaning), and more.

Given the climate of bias, hate and fear that our top leaders and media have sought to foment against the Tea Party for years, is it any wonder that self-important IRS bureaucrats would act unethically toward it?

UPDATE: As long as my list is, I know that I’ve missed some juicy examples of our top leaders and media fomenting bigotry against the Tea Party. Please feel free to add more in the comments.

UPDATE: Rick Santelli points out the logical endpoint of the IRS’ approach – namely, your Obamacare death panel Accountability Board saying “No stent for you!” based on your politics – and predicts that Obamacare will be altered partly to prevent such a nightmare.

UPDATE: How could I not mention how they’ve also tried to link the Tea Party with racism? Latest example: a top NAACP leader claims that America’s racist Taliban deserved the IRS scrutiny.

Love it, love it, love it.

(Washington, D.C.) – Today, GOProud, the only national organization representing gay conservatives and their allies, announced they were expanding their television advertising buy against Barney Frank (D-MA). The ad, entitled “The Real Democrats of Washington, D.C.,” will now air district wide on Bravo and Lifetime through Election Day. “The response to this ad has been overwhelming,” said Jimmy LaSalvia, Executive Director. “We know this ad is resonating and we are expanding the buy to help make sure voters know what an embarrassment Barney Frank is.”

The ad began airing in district on Monday of this week on Lifetime and Bravo in the Boston market. GOProud’s latest buy will now include the entire district, including portions in the southern part of the district covered by the Providence market, and the ad will now run through next Tuesday. “GOProud is committed to saving the jobs of millions of Americans, including gay and lesbian Americans, by firing Barney Frank – the man the responsible for the financial meltdown that devastated our economy,” concluded LaSalvia.

Here’s the ad.

And here’s a CNN report last week about the GOPROUD ad when it first hit the airwaves.

DONATE to GOProud — because even gay Democrats are destroying this nation one at a time.
