Oh ok, let's blame the left for all violent rhetoric...

Oh the left is so violent, ok...these are just a few quotes found on google, there are thousands more about violence against liberals...Do they live in an alternate universe where everything that is said by them just magically disappears?

Rush Limbaugh: “I tell people don’t kill all the liberals. Leave enough so we can have two on every campus – living fossils – so we will never forget what these people stood for.”

Senator Phil Gramm: “We’re going to keep building the party until we’re hunting Democrats with dogs.”

Rep. James Hansen on Bill Clinton: Get rid of the guy. Impreach him, censure him, assassinate him.”

Ann Coulter: “We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too.”

Joyce Kaufman: “If ballots don’t work, bullets will.”

Michelle Bachmann: “Be armed and dangerous”

When you have another mass shooting or terrorism, here is how CONservatives describe the incident and the cause of it:

Liberal shooter ... liberal terrorism ... caused by liberal extreme rhetoric
Muslim shooter ... Islamic extremist terrorism ... caused by Islam
Conservative shooter ... lone wolf ... caused by mental health problems

We can agree to limit automatic guns, high capacity weapons, unlimited bullets, stronger background checks, and oversee those with mental issues requiring a moratorium to buy weapons as a bipartisan way to reduce this type of senseless violence.

Or not.

It's a multi billion dollar industry for them at this point. Only way to put an end to it is either a war or a constitutional amendment.
