Judson responded to the Giffords shooting by sending a flurry of mass e-mails to Tea Party Nation member urging them to scapegoat liberals for the event.

Sal Russo: Chief Strategist of Tea Party Express

A colleague of Judson's,Sal Russo, chief strategist for Tea Party Express, told Fox news that suspect Jared Loughner "was obviously a leftist. He admired Mein Kampf and the Communist Manifesto . These are not volumes that are popular with the Tea Party so he was obviously a left-wing anarchist, he was probably anti-Semitic." Russo's poor command of history fails to realize that Hitler despised communists and included that group in the Final Solution for extermination. Furthermore, Karl Marx was a Jew who wrote the manifesto as a remedy to the extreme poverty and cruelty of the Czars.

1776 Tea Party: Steve Eichler and Tim Bueler

Steve Eichler and Tim Bueler run the 1776 Tea Party group. Buehler is also connected with the Minuteman Project, which has been implicated in the murder of 9 year old Brisenia Flores and her father Raul Flores in Arizona. Both Brisenia and her father were murdered in a home invasion conducted by Minutemen members and directed by their "border operations director'' Shawna Forde. According to incident accounts, Brisenia's father was shot, then her mother. When Brisenia asked why they shot her mother, one of the Minutemen responded by pointing a gun at her head and firing off two rounds. Shawna Forde's trial begins in late January of 2011. The incident took place May 30, 2009.

The similarity of Brisenia's execution (gun shots to the head at close range) with the Giffords shooting is not accidental. This execution style has been sponsored by the cable television program of Glenn Beck. Beck has preached for the violent executions of President Obama, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and so on. His prescribed execution style"...shoot them in the head...before they shoot you," is filmed with Beck seated at a desk in front of a SWASTIKA decorated board.

Beck issued a 'denunciation' of the very violence he incited earlier on 01/10/11 - after the Giffords shootings. Attorneys for Fox have denied any responsibility or incitement from Beck's multiple broadcasts where he routinely fantasizes about violent murders of political opponents.

Larry Pratt:

Larry Pratt is a member of Tea Party Nation and the 1776 Tea Party. His more prominent affiliation with various hate groups dates back to 1992, when he was a speaker at a combined meeting of Aryan Nations leaders, Klu Klux Klansmen, and "Christian Identity" adherents. The Christian Identity movement labels Jews as 'satanic' and persons of color as 'mud people.' Pratt wrote a booklet which espoused militias assuming the role and power of law enforcement. After Pratt's views and questionable associations went public; he was forced to resign as Pat Buchanan's Republican Party campaign co-chair in 1996.
