"You know, our Founding Fathers, they put that Second Amendment in there for a good reason, and that was for the people to protect themselves against a tyrannical government. And in fact Thomas Jefferson said it's good for a country to have a revolution every 20 years.
"I hope that's not where we're going, but, you know, if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying, My goodness, what can we do to turn this country around? I'll tell you the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out." -Sharron Angle

The point was, that the tea party had been offhandedly advocating violence, and now somebody who opposes them gets shot. So i don't think my speculation is so off base when candidates of the tea party have been saying things like that.
