Three left wing groups led by MoveOn.org are planning to deliver a petition to RNC headquarters to apologize for the alleged violence against Democrats by Tea Party supporters.
From the Politico
Three liberal groups will drop off a petition at the Republican National Committee’s headquarters Thursday, urging conservative leaders to “take responsibility” for threats and incidents of vandalism against Democrats.
The event is being organized by the Brave New Foundation, MoveOn.org, CREDO and Color of Change.
The groups say about 330,000 people have signed their petition, which urges Republicans to “apologize for your hate-spewing proxies in the Tea Party Patriots. It is not acceptable for you to build your party’s political fortunes by encouraging and defending bigotry and hatred among your supporters.”
Republican leaders, including House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio and House Minority Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia, already have both condemned any violence and said the GOP does not condone or try to incite such behavior. The FBI earlier this week arrested a Philadelphia man for threatening Cantor’s life, and Republicans say the threats come from both sides.
Republicans have said that some of the incidents nationwide have been similar to protests by Code Pink and MoveOn during the Bush administration.
“We never held up a picture of George W. Bush or the speaker at the time and pretend to slap them,” Brave New Foundation spokeswoman Martha de Hoyos said. “We didn’t say lock and load.”
First of all there is no evidence that any of the incidents that have reported had anything t do with members of the Tea Party and some of them have been misreported like the Ohio representative who supposedly had a brick thrown through his window even though his office was on the 30th floor of an office building. That was later corrected to a local Democratic office, but it is an example of the sloppy reporting on this issue.
Second for the left to call out conservatives for the Tea Party protests and ignore the much more vile anti-war protests during the Bush years is laughable. AIM will have footage of the anti-war demonstration that took place in DC shortly and you can then judge whether or not the left is calling the kettle black.

5 Comments for The Left Demands GOP Apologize for Violence
Well is this the plan to silence the right, Well the elitist defeatist have made one huge mistake by playing the tactics of the 60’s blaming tea party member who could care less what color someone is. Speaking for my self as a tea party member I look at the red and the lack of any kind of shame from them on scewing three hundred million to help 30 million Pre existing conditions and other parts of there bill could have been corrected so much easier then running up the take over of healthcare. I would like to see tea parties from across the country go after the sponsors of there far left media/Propaganda wing who has run story after story about the racist tea party as a whole all the letters of the A to Z talking heads there sponsors are easy to find on there web sites: inform, boycott :and if necessary picket with large rallies of tea party groups from across America. UN like all the clowns on the left we who believe in the law and Constitution have a vast power that is we have worked our entire lives and buy there products or Not, That is the power we have! Any station who as been running these videos over and over with not one sound bite showing anyone calling any body anything or using slow motion break downs of nothing. Not to mention the lies that tea party is all white they go out of there way to show it that way. Also any group on the right needs to watch for far left trouble makers in the mix or snakes in the grass .Start using videos cameras through out the rallies contact your local tea party and spead the word inform boycott and last picket the money. Have a plan if a snake is in your group, Much less any nut who might be there regardless of his motives.spread the word
I would give anything to be the one who got to tell that guy from MoveOn.org what he could do with his petition!
If anyone hasn’t checked it out—click on the word Politico in the article and you will see that these idiots didn.t accomplish much!!!
Hope everyone has a nice Easter—I am on my way to9 cook my breakfast potaotes and make a fruit salad—we are having brunch with friends later this morning—
Tea Party patriots beware! MoveOn, the DNC, or some other lefty group will plant people at Tea Party rallies to disrupt, shout racial slurs, display hate signs, etc. just to get the ear and the microphone of the LSM.
If you see or hear any of this at a rally then get photos of the perps and all other info you can about them so that they can be vetted and the movement kept pure.
This is gorilla warfare. Be smart and alert.
Wonder if this will be reported on all the networks as “a threatening act?”
