3 dead as anti-austerity riots erupt in Athens
"Riots over harsh new austerity measures left three bank workers dead and engulfed the streets of Athens on Wednesday, as angry protesters tried to storm parliament, hurled Molotov cocktails at police and torched buildings. Police responded with barrages of tear gas.
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in a nationwide strike to protest new taxes and government spending cuts demanded by the International Monetary Fund and other European nations before heavily indebted Greece gets a euro110 billion ($141 billion) loan package to keep it from defaulting.
The three bank workers — a man and two women — died after demonstrators set their bank on fire along the main demonstration route in central Athens. As their colleagues sobbed in the street, five other bank workers were rescued from the balcony of the burning building."
Why is it, any act of violence is blamed on "Tea Partiers" or on conservatives in general?
Joe Stack was first called a Tea Partier. The Pentagon shooter was initially called a Tea Partier. One poll said a large number of liberals believed the NYC bomer is a Tea Partier, before he was caught and identified.
Closer to home, here on Y!A we see liberals calling slave owners "conservatives" and even calling the Nazi party a "conservative" movement.
Do liberals just automatically blame any act of evil on conservatives, including the Tea Party?
