In online video game, Tea Partiers make "zombie" targets
An image from the online game "Tea Party Zombies Must Die."
/ StarvingEyesThe game, "Tea Party Zombies Must Die," features a handful of Tea Party members - including Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich, and a blood-spattered, bra-clad Michele Bachmann - who the gamer is instructed to kill with either a "melee weapon" (in the first level, at least, it's a crowbar) or a gun.
Other featured Tea Party targets include: "Generic pissed off old white guy zombie," "Pissed off stupid white trash redneck birther zombie," "Factory made blonde Fox News Barbie who has never had a problem in her life zombie," and "Glenn Beck Zombie (Back from the dead!)."
Upon the player's death, one is told, "You got Teabagged! P.S. You didn't have health insurance, so you died. P.P.S. There's no such thing as God, so you died for eternity."
The makers of the game, StarvingEyes: Viral Advergaming, have worked with clients like Hotels.com, MeowMix, TLC, and Motorola, according to their website.
But Jason Oda, the head of StarvingEyes, tells MRCTV he's not worried about the possible implications of "Tea Party Zombies Must Die" on his business: "The game was just a personal project. I am not worried about it effecting business," he said.

Speaking of zombies, look at the Obama supporters.
Someone recently said that liberals aren't wrong... we're just boring. Stop it.
While the inappropriate video game violence can be left on the cutting room floor, the tea party death cult zombie mentality is aptly represented if I do say so myself. Why not use it creatively, rather than destructively, to spread the message that the tea party zombies are detrimental to our well-being?
Halloween is just around the corner and 'tea party zombie' would make a great costume. In fact, we made just such a costume last year and my hubby won the door prize for best costume (from a gathering of Republicans no less). Wish I could post a photo here - it was hysterical. I dressed up as witchy Sarah Palin and lead hubby around by the leash around his neck... but I like zombie Sarah Palin much better.

Press every evil act into service of the common good.
This is racist.. What if the game company used a black man, or an east indian or any other race. I bet you would be hearing from the NAACP or some other group..
For those of you complaining about where is the Obama games you just haven't looked hard enough. They've been out since the first hour he took the oath of office.
Well, I hope the guy who created it is ready for a crap load of lawsuits. I am not even talking about the fact he used likeness and names. I am talking about the people whose teenager will try or succeed in doing exactly what this game promotes. "the video game made me do it."
I just have one questions for all you avid supporters of this game. What if that was your mother on that game?
You need to study more history. Some of our founding fathers presidential campaigns involved some pretty ugly tactics. Some of the things our founding fathers did to get elected President make this game look silly in comparison.
