I guarantee you if he could have provided a montage of many the violent and over the top remarks that have been pointed out in these last few days coming from Democrats and change the names he would be singing a different tune. His saying what he did is the best he can do with no real ammunition out there.
Indeed. Take a cue from this, primitives. There is No 'There' There. As more and more information leaks out about this nutbar, the less and less likely you will be able to pin his actions on conservatives. Stewart is smart enough to know this, and has backed out of the conversation.
Things we know:
*1 Athiest, save for his skull altar in his yard.
*2 Believes in 'magical thinking' e.g. Conscious Dreaming (misspelled as 'Conscience Dreaming' - fairly ironic for his obsession with grammar)
*3 is a 9-11 'Troofer', and believes that Man has not landed on the moon, nor are there rovers on Mars. Absent is any notion he is a 'birther'
*4 Has wanted to kill this congresswoman since 2007 - long before the TEA party.
*5 He made references to the 'illegal' Iraq and Afghan wars.
*6 He does make reference to "The Constitution", but usually in reference to "The Second Constitution" - whatever the hell that is..
*7 Likes flag burning.
*8 Found a poem about abortion 'funny' and other bizarre actions- he had scared so many of his classmates, they had the law look into him,and they did nothing about it.
*9 Is interested in backing currency with precious metals -- "The New Currency" - whatever the hell that is..
*10 is described as a 'pot smoking loner'

Erm.. Mentalcase ? Definitely. TEA Partier ?? Not so much..
Edited To add:
RE Moon Landing -
This nutcase thinks the moon landing was faked. This Congresswoman's husband and brother-in-law are astronauts. You do the math.
