I believe any act of violence is wrong. But don't believe every thing you read. Perhaps the tea party members are being demonized in the media just in time for the next huge red flag which will obviously be blamed on them?
Maybe I've listened to Alex Jones too much. But anyway, if one lone weirdo did these things, it doesn't wash away all the goals of the larger group. It's sad to me that we Americans must only align with one side or the other and if not we must hate each other.
A viable third party is needed here. Don't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch.
