Tea Party Zombies Must Die Redefines the Term "Aggressively Liberal"

[Mcupobob]

Ah.

Fucking leftists, always have to bait everyone else. I'm not saying the gents at Faux don't deserve to have jokes thrown their way, nor the loony religious right; but it seems like this is built to bait anyone who may share even the faintest idea with them.

And what's it with everyone saying the Tea Party is some sort of Far-Right organisation? I'd imagine it to be a more Libertarian one than anything; it's message seems to be one of fiscal responsibility and freedom along with that of personal freedom- but it seems many of it's detractors are rushing to say otherwise.

Not a lot of overlap when it comes to Tea party and Libertarians. They are a far-right organization and while some boast about freedoms and such, they are still are against gay marriage and ending/ or decriminalize the war on drugs. They don' like amnesty for immigrates and don't wish to end the wars in the middle east. They have a strong Christian core in the center of the movement. While these ideas are not shared by the whole Tea Party it is in the majority of the movement. Some blame this on a hijacking of the GOP using them as sort of a Make over of sorts.

I like the Tea party in some aspects but they are Libertarians in the sense that Glenn Beck is a Libertarian.

I'd digress- I'd agree with the sayings that the music has been overshadowed by the Repubs and Religious Right, but I'd maintain that at it's core and origins is a purely libertarian movement.

I suppose you can say that, it started out for a want of smaller Government and fiscal responsibility but soon other things got tacked onto the movement.

I think it was more that the core ideals of the original Tea Party movement overlapped with some of the Republican ideals enough that 1) they openly endorsed, while polictically keeping the Tea Party at arms length, while at the same time 2) infiltrating the movement and getting hard-core Republicans into the movement's leadership positions, thus co-opting the entire thing. The end result being that the Tea Party agenda was pushed from smaller government and fiscal responsibility to the ultra-hardline conservative things that the Republicans want, but can't, politically speaking, openly endorse.

I suppose thats another way of looking at it. The real tragedy however is that the Tea party never got to become what it wanted to.

Anyways, going to stop now as I have unintentionally derailed this thread.

This was easily the most hilarious political thing I've seen in a long time. Pretty interesting stuff in the loading screens too.

 

[Formica Archonis]

Sigh. Reminds me of the George W. Bush days, where a Flash game came out where one of the monsters was George Bush Sr. humping Barbara Bush, who would then shoot out Dubya clones (from the obvious place) that you had to kill. The cutscene afterwards on the importance of unionization was rather lost on me.

Not to bang on the Democrats, though. A partisan hack is a partisan hack no matter what lobbyist (sorry, party) he bows to.

But overall, I've given up. Democracy is a fundamentally broken concept, as it requires an engaged and politically interested populace to work. Without that it turns into what we have now: us vs. them mudslinging and corruption.

 

[ResonanceSD]

The narrative and characterization are pretty bad. Gameplay is old school to the point of being outdated.

...

What?

You remember that old site "The Escapist: The mouthpiece of the gaming generation" right?

 

[Ed130 The Vanguard]

As a game, I kinda liked it. You see I have a bit of a soft spot for "classic" shooters and this one is as close to Doom as I have ever seen. Although being boxed in by a boss and beaten to death did lessen the enjoyment somewhat.

Politically, its nothing more than flame-bait.

 

[BabyRaptor]

I've been reading about this all day...

My thoughts are thus: The prominent people in the "Religious Right" have made a name for themselves attacking everyone who doesn't agree with them. Everyone was defending Sarah Palin's gun porn website after that one legislator from a district she had targeted got shot. It's free speech, right?

But when someone the Right likes starts getting attacked, it's no longer free speech. It's "hate speech," and should be punished.

Pot, meet kettle.

 

[Low Key]

Let's just bring back JFK Reloaded while we're at it.

Hey, at least that game was designed to deal with the JFK conspiracy theories.

I wonder how many people after about an hour of reenacting the assassination decided turn the game into mass murder central. I know that's what I did when I played it. I suppose that makes my initial post kind of ironic.

I have no problem with a bit of satire, even if I'm economically right-wing myself. However, from what I gather it doesn't appear to be the dry humour, Ken Finkleman-style satire I enjoy, more the immature, 'haha we call you zombies' satire. I have to go to class soon but I'll definitely give the game a try when I get back.

Par for the course in the game industry I suppose...another zombie shooter. They can only be so original.

And wait a second, aren't gun rights a right-wing issue in the U.S.? What are the lefties going to shoot the zombies with, flowers?

Super Soakers filled with Kool-Aid?

 

[Sean Strife]

I can't play this goddamn game anymore. I myself lean more towards the left anyways... and I think this game is a piece of shit. If you're gonna make propaganda like this: AT LEAST DO IT RIGHT! At least make the controllers worth a damn.

Then again, I'm used to WASD and my mouse and they screwed that all up, but would it be so hard to program some fucking crosshairs on the gun?! Sheesh.

 

[B4DD]

I can't decide which side to join because both represent themselves as crazy, the right moreso I guess. I do lean towards the left, but they get pretty ridiculous, everybody is trying to spite the other party.

 

[scotth266]

Meh, if you turned it around (Obama/Biden/that one woman from Congress whose name I'm totally spazzing out on) the liberal blog scene would be assaulting it as a Tea Party wet dream.

If you switched it around it wouldn't bloody work, would it? Conservatives are zombies, liberals aren't. The Romero image of a zombie is practically based in Conservativism.

While I do enjoy a couple of his movies, Romero is hardly the dictator of all things zombie. Zombie books and movies have been made espousing multiple political viewpoints (read White Flag Of The Dead, for a zombie series that aims for conservatives as an audience).

Since zombies kill people and make THEM into zombies regardless of political affiliation, it would be easy enough to make a anti-Democrat zombie game. The left has it's share of pundits for the whole "mindless shambler" reference to work as well.

 

[Atmos Duality]

So they respond to hate and ignorance, with more hate and ignorance?

That's just bound to work. :/

The cycle of jaded punditry continues.
I wonder how many nested layers of sarcasm and satire this can go.
Will the Tea Party respond with a Right-Winger version of Duck Hunt?

The tea party is really the corporate sponsored "grassroots" version of the neo-con movement.
If they were Libertarians, they wouldn't be so interested in other peoples reproductive rights/practices - which by the way is one of the more creepy aspects of the right wing.

The biggest problem I have with this game is that it doesn't let me tea-bag the teabaggers. WTF?

 

[AgentBJ09]

...Regardless, while it's not the most mature addition to the great war of ideology, it still ranks amongst the most fun.

Postal 2 is more fun than this because it was meant to piss off a lot more than just one group.

Propaganda games of this kind shouldn't be dubbed fun, and if you find it fun, I have no sympathy for you.

 

[Callate]

I'm tempted to say something along the lines of "well, at least the liberals portray the conservatives as already dead before they suggest directing violence toward them," but that's pretty pale. As contemptible as I find the Tea Party, as utterly fictional as I find the basis of their so-called "grievances", and as disgusted as I am with both the damage they've done to the national dialogue and that anyone should be allowed to suggest with a straight face that they represent some kind of homespun majority well of common sense- I'm not entirely comfortable with the implication that they're sub-human and deserving of violence. This is not, to put it mildly, taking the high road.
