New Video Game Allows Players to Kill Tea Partiers<\/a><\/h1>\n<\/td>\n

\"\"Liberals often tout themselves as the epitome of tolerance, which makes the production of a video game entitled \u201cTea Party Zombies Must Die<\/a>,\u201d by StarvingEyes Advergaming, all the more confusing.In the new game, players are encouraged to shoot such Tea Party favorites as Glenn Beck, Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, and many others, some of which do not exactly fit the criteria of the Tea Party movement but who appear in the game nonetheless.The Blaze<\/em>\u00a0reports:In a new online game created by liberals titled \u201cTea Party Zombies Must Die<\/a>\u201d players can live out your most vicious fantasy by gunning down prominent conservatives with an Uzi. Among the \u201czombies\u201d available for slaughter: Glenn Beck, Brit Hume, Bill O\u2019Reilly, Sean Hannity, Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich and the Koch brothers.<\/p>\n

Players begin the game with just a crowbar as their weapon (sample screen above, left), but as they work their way up through the different levels, they acquire different guns until they reach the uzi. If the player is someone killed in the game, they receive the following blasphemous message, \u201cYou got teabagged! P.S. You didn\u2019t have health insurance, so you died. P.P.S. There\u2019s no such thing as God, so you died for eternity.\u201dThe game walks players through a number of different levels, where they are encouraged to target a wide range of Republicans and conservatives, from Fox News pundits to employees at Americans for Prosperity.<\/p>\n

But the game does not simply focus on those in the public eye. It also includes characters such as \u201cgeneric [P.O.’d] old white guy zombie,\u201d [P.O.’d] stupid white trash redneck birther zombie,\u201d and then ironically, after having used harsh racial terms to describe the aforementioned zombies, includes yet another zombie dubbed \u201cexpresses racist views anonymously on the Internet modern Klan zombie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Besides the obvious racial and class biases the game makers have exhibited in the creation of these characters, the makers also seem to resort to sexist bias, as exemplified by the \u201cfactory made blonde Fox News Barbie who has never had a problem in her life zombie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s presumptuous for the game makers to assume they know anything about the lives of the Fox News female hosts is another issue.The video game also features \u201cWe tricked the God people into believing in tax cuts for the rich executive zombie,\u201d \u201cKoch Industries Koch Whore Lobbyist Pig Zombie,\u201d \u201cKoch Industries Climate Change Denial Toxic Zombie,\u201d and \u201cKoch Brothers Zombie.\u201d<\/p>\n

On a side note, the video game seems to once again ignore the true founder of the Tea Party movement \u2014 Ron Paul \u2014 though in this particular instance, it may be a good thing. Perhaps the makers of the video game do not bear such a toxic disdain for the Texas Congressman as they do for the others, or perhaps leaving Paul out of the roster of characters is yet another example of the\u00a0growing trend\u00a0<\/a>to separate the real founder from the popular and influential movement.The video game is expectedly violent, with blood exploding onto the screen as each zombie is eliminated by the player.<\/p>\n

As noted by\u00a0The Blaze<\/em>, the video game is just one example of a number of violent and harsh attacks from the Left against those on the right.\u00a0The Blaze\u00a0<\/em>went through the trouble of compiling a\u00a0list\u00a0<\/a>of Tweets posted by those on the Left that include violent rhetoric such as \u201ckill Sarah Palin,\u201d \u201cWow, Rick Perry you\u2019re a d***, go die,\u201d \u201cI want to kill [Rick Perry] and his supporters,\u201d \u201cIf there was ever anyone who deserved to die a slow death it\u2019s [Michele Bachmann].\u201d The montage of violent tweets is six minutes long.<\/p>\n

Still, not everyone opposed to the conservative agenda is in support of the zombie video game. Keith Oblermann, in what some have called a \u201csurprising display of objectivity,\u201d has\u00a0encouraged\u00a0<\/a>his viewers to boycott the video game until the makers ultimately \u201cpull the plug\u201d on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oblermann discussed the game on his \u201cWorst Persons\u201d segment, wherein he said, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter how you feel about those people\u2026.there is no place for this.\u201d He went on to say: \u201cThere is no excuse for being the \u2018thing,\u2019 or person that tips a mental case over the edge to carry out an act of violence against one of the people featured in the game, or tips another mental case to exact revenge against a political opponent.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House.
