Could just ONE "journalist" interrupt just ONE of the Republican apologists now being
given face time by nearly every TV network and ask just ONE simple question after they insist that "both sides have their share of vitriol and unbalanced individuals": "Can you please list for us the liberals who have attacked and killed conservative politicians within, say the last 20 years or so?"

1. I would like to see the tweets, emails, graphics, videos of Dem politicians
using the rhetoric of assassination. Where are they?

4. I have heard one example of attacks from the Left today
The Weathermen from the sixties were cited as an example of the extreme left promoting violence.

15. Lame.
The past decade has been filled with right wing extremist violence. In the past ten years name ONE similar attack on a Republican. ONE.

9. Wasn't Manson was trying to instigate a race war that he believed would
consume all of the "n****rs", and the evil white government.

Not exactly a leftist agenda.

13. he had long hair
and played that rocky roll music. to many, that's automatically leftist. at least until ted nugent came along.

it's all mixed up when you're actually crazy - the unabomber was a libertarian and a socialist.

16. by the time she shot at Ford, Manson had been in jail several years
I doubt Squeaky was trying to start his race war. But the point of that was that everyone had to think blacks did it. Squeaky by this time was an individual mental case. She went right up to Ford herself. So it had no effect on starting "Helter Skelter."

That article shows some other motives. And OMG she's out of jail right now.

8. Not since the Fairness doctrine was repealed. If you don't like what you are seeing
then DEMAND that the Fairness Doctrine be reinstated. Don't wait for someone on the TV to bring it up. They won't. It's up to US to make this an issue. Anything short of reinstating the Fairness Doctrine will have zero effect on what is happening today.

10. If they do, they'll get the crosshairs treatment, too.
And the envelopes full of white powder. And and and. It's about the intimidation, folks.

12. Tell them to name one liberal politician
who has advocated violence against the other side. Just one. I can name several Puke leaders who have.
