Tea Party Sells ‘America’s Most Wanted’ Playing Cards With Pictures Of Federal Lawmakers
Remember these?

Despite the fact that the decks are modeled on the Iraq playing cards, members of the Tea Party group are insisting that they’re not encouraging violence against the officials:

The group is also encouraging customers to use the cards to let the politicians know their dissatisfaction. On its website, the group encourages buyers to locate the “dirty politician’s mailing address,” sign the card with permanent marker and “Mail it to him as a reminder that, on Election Day, you will be calling his bluff (Suggestion : you may want to refrain from writing your return address on the envelope).”

This is the type of 'suggestions' the crazy teabaggers encourage.

1. but seriously, if a mental ill person
sees these cards, and takes out a liberal or a dem, it is not all politically motivated, and the spewers of violent rhetoric have no responsibility. See how that works....
