That occurred to me, as did the thought that perhaps the tea party is behind this for the purpose of generating anti-anti-tea party sentiments.
I support the tea party movement, and I've personally attended a few rallies and meetings. Most of the people at those gatherings struck me as legitimately concerned citizens who wanted their collective voices to be heard, but some of them seemed more extreme than that.
Even though I am, by my own admission, a radical libertarian, the idea that tea-partiers would commit such an insidious act troubles me. Some tea-partiers seem to think we're already at war, and in any war, the first casualty is truth.
There have been times when I have excercised poor judgement of facts when evidencing my own positions because I am not immune to bias, but willful sedition is wrong, no matter who is behind it.
