Why yes. Yes they have. Shortly after Steven Crowder tweeted about being viciously assaulted by a union goon, conservatives jokingly suggested that lefties would find a way to blame Crowder:
@Stranahan Gee, I wonder who will be cast as the violent ones. @scrowder best get a lawyer — he assaulted some thug’s fist w/ his face.

@detnews Wow, just look at that evil Steven Crowder attacking that poor man's fist with his face. Shame on you @SCrowder. Shame. #tcot #rtw

The thing is, they weren’t far off. In the wake of the attack on Crowder, lefty loons are going after him. Why blame the criminal when you can blame the victim?
Of course it did MT @scrowder: Even if you hate me, nothing I could have done warranted being suckerpunched and threatened with murder.

How many times is Fox News' @SCrowder going to cause trouble before he's locked away? http://t.co/lH7eeo3Y #SaveMI #p2 #tcot

. @scrowder makes a career out of insulting Detroiters and Michiganders then comes here and is pissed when people threaten him. #savemi

You clearly provoked it. Why were you getting in people's faces telling them what to do? Reports report. You involved yourself @scrowder

Foul-mouthed liberal Fox News contributer Bob Beckel doesn’t understand what the fuss is about:
Bob Beckel doesn't think what happened to @scrowder was violence. I'm about to lose it…… #tcot

Feckless “conservative” Matt Lewis isn’t terribly broken up, either. In fact, he’s waving his conspiracy card:
There's no excuse for hitting @scrowder. But what provoked this violence? (I'd like to see the full, unedited, video) – http://t.co/0LfNO7BP
— Matt Lewis (@mattklewis) December 11, 2012
Specifically, I'd like to know what happened right before the 0:38 mark. http://t.co/0LfNO7BP
— Matt Lewis (@mattklewis) December 11, 2012
Ridiculous.
@mattklewis I've been in 3 different unions. Don't doubt that the mere presence of somebody opposed to them is sufficient cause 4 violence.

@michellemalkin @scrowder wow, you're actually dumb enough to fall for this? Or do you know it is a lie and willingly repeating it?
— Zorpheous (@Zorpheous) December 11, 2012
@michellemalkin @DLoesch so 30 year old weasel @scrowder has become your Trayvon Martin?

@scrowder the most shocking thing is your indifference to the assault on working families by power.
