Please give me a link. As for rhetoric..I have no doubt. now show me a link of a mainstream conservative holding up a severed head. I haven't even mentioned the Julius Caesar play depicting Trump being assassinated.

Here's a very short article on the subject, with respect to Obama...

Conservatives forget history

But to tell you the truth, I could care less if people on either side want to march and hold up signs and display their feelings, so long as they are not directly harming other people or property.

Burning effigies and photo-shopped decapitations are legal but classless and don't accomplish anything (for either side engaging in that sort of thing). They are condoning and possibly encouraging actual violence, whether intentional or not.

I think the issue is when celebrities, recognized voices and media types openly condone "resistance" then it becomes a problem as it lends a certain amount of credibility to violence. We saw this play out with the BLM movement and people chanting about killing cops.

Nobody listens to the KKK or skinheads as everyone knows they're idiots. For the most part original Tea Party members are too loyal to the Constitution to get violent -and God knows there were cameras all over them just looking for an incident. These militants leftists though have been stirring up violence since the 60's - and it's pretty obvious they're much more belligerent and violent than conservative republicans.

Of course ito a very short article it's an absurd comparison.Do you actually think those idiots even
compare to antifa violence and riots?

Dawgslife and myself produced numerous linKS to 15 leftist celebrities/pundits who threatend violence against DJT and the GOP and as usual the author
plays the Ted Nugent card.

Please name any other mainstram conservative celebrities or pundits who threatend BHO and the DNC with violence.

Which republican congressman immediately called for impeachment of BHO within a month of taking office?

How manypeople were arrested at BHO'so inaguaration?
Just peaceful protest,correct???

Conservatives forget history,huh?
The headline should be "leftist have no grasp
of reality"

Once again,when it comes to violent rhetoric and violent acts your side is in lead by a w die margin and it's not close.

You must have missed the part hwere I said mainstream celebrities.
Sure, both sides have their fringe nut cases. I can point to literally thousands of twitter posts calling for the assassination of Trump. I can point to fringe, unhinged people talking about Trump.

Past Nugent you will be hard pressed to come up with conservative celebrities calling for assassination or violence against Obama or any other President. Crap, we see Maxine waters getting on TV and calling for impeachment, then when a CNN guy calls her on it, she admits there is not basis for it.

I agree. That is protected. however, ANTIFA was setting cars on fire, breaking windows and hitting people with bottles and padlocks wrapped in socks.

Except Kathy griffin's little stunt wasn't photoshopped. She had a mock head up professionally and a professional photographer come in to take pictures. Then at her infamous "apology" she blamed Trump, ("He broke me!") and proceeded to call him some pretty nasty names....some apology.
