Tea Party Express on Arizona tragedy: Send us money

California-based Tea Party Express has asked supporters to send it money to counter "leftists" it accuses of "trying to exploit" Saturday's mass shooting in Tucson that left six dead and Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords fighting for her life.

While professing to be "horrified" at the shootings, the group charged that "many in the news media and liberal political figures and organizations" are blaming Sarah Palin and "our grass roots, Constitutionalist movement" for the tragedy in Tucson.

"We're taking our country back through the ballot box and in the public square -- through peaceful means," the letter claims. "And we will prevail, because our ideas and ideals are stronger than the scare/smear/defame tactics of the leftists we face."

"We ask you to please stand with the Tea Party Express and show your support for our efforts. You can make a contribution right now to the Tea Party Express -- CLICK HERE TO CONTRIBUTE."

1. Typical right wing tea bagging Republican ploy. Make money

from death and tragedy. Right wingers love death. Just look at the evidence. Deny health care to save money. Death. War. Money for contractors. Death. Massacre. Opportunity to raise money. Death.

2. Exploit? Palin and the teabaggers' campaign of hate was the first thing to pop into everyones' minds

At least that's how it was for me when I heard of the shooting before I was even aware of Rep Giffords being a target on Palin's map.
