Default Video Game Targets 'Tea Party Zombies,' Fox News Personalities
Not sure many of those who play these types of shooting games really care a whole lot about politics. I certainly do not remember any of my grandchildren asking me for the new 'Tea Party Zombies Must Die' game. Pretty sure they would rather play Call of Duty and other popular games.

I predict this game will be a flop.

And since I know someone will bring it up---no, I do not think this is "violent rhetoric." Besides, I hate that term. It has been played to death on both sides of the aisle.

A New York-based video game developer has set his virtual crosshairs on Republican and conservative political figures in a game called "Tea Party Zombies Must Die," which allows players to indiscriminately slaughter politicians like Michele Bachmann, Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin.

The gruesome game, created by StarvingEyes Advergaming, is billed as "first-person shooter" featuring "Tea Party zombies" to be targeted with an "arsenal of weapons," including multiple firearms and a crowbar. Notable politicians depicted in the game include current and previous presidential hopefuls like Palin, Bachmann, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum. Several Fox News personalities are also featured, including Huckabee, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Brit Hume.

Heh, funny; I'm listening to Olbermann's WPINW (Worst Person in the World) segment for today, a certain video game developer makes it to the list, and then this thread.

Nice.

I think this kind of stuff is in very poor taste...... and I hope they lose their ass.

I will have to disagree with you Comet on it not being violent rhetoric.

Killing zombies, aliens or even evil real humans (ie: Hitler)....is one thing.

Making targets of people solely because of their political position, is something else entirely in my opinion.

What's next, a Kill the President (any POTUS) video game?

Don't get current tv and really miss KO's show. As always, he's right on. Thanks for the clip.
