Tea Party Zombies Must Die Video Game Riles RepublicansAn online video game that allows players to shoot zombie versions of Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich and Fox News' Bill O'Reilly has angered conservatives in America. The online first-person shooter game called Tea Party Zombies Must Die, gives players the chance move around a decaying Fox News studio, killing zombie versions of presidential candidate, Michele Bachmann, star of the Tea Party movemenSarah Palin, speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and right-wing broadcaster Glenn Beck using an array of weapons. Other undead creatures players may encounter include likenesses of the former Senator for Pennsylvania, Rick Santorum and Fox News host Bill O'Reilly. They can also target a series of generic characters, of which the descriptively-named "Expresses racist views anonymously on the internet modern klan zombie" and "Factory-made blonde Fox News Barbie who has never had a problem in her life zombie". The game, which was created by StarvingEyes Advergaming who make games for online viral campaigns, has attracted criticism from some conservatives. Brent Bozell, president of Media Research Center, a right-wing media analysis organisation, said: "The liberal media have been preaching for years that conservatives are the ones who invoke violent imagery and rhetoric. Yet in the space of two days, the radical, pro-Obama left calls us 'son-of-a-[female dogs]' and says they want to 'take us out.' And they follow that with a hideously violent game where they do just that - depicting ways of shooting prominent conservatives, presidential candidates and journalists. The news media would be in an uproar if violence had been incited against liberals. Their silence disgusts me."Some of the other generic characters are the 'Koch industries Koch Whore lobbyist pig zombie' the 'generic pissed off old white guy zombie' and the "pissed off stupid white trash redneck birther zombie'.
