re: Gunman at Republican Baseball practice - LA congressman wounded

So now that it's one of yours, liberals are suddenly against stereotyping.

I had an issue with it when they blamed GOP rhetoric, specifically Palin, for Giffords shooting.

Hard to see eye to eye when you're painting such a broad brush right?

There has been terrible rhetoric from both sides, but you're being blissfully ignorant if you think the violence has been equally distributed.

There are a lot of liberal celebrities that should be under Secret Service surveillance, and a few definitely belong in Guantanamo.

Terrorism experts say GOP shooting highlights disturbing rise in left-wing violence.

This is coming off the heels of 'trump's rhetoric is dangerous' claims that have been going on for over a year. Meanwhile, we have griffin holding a severed head, plays acting out trump's assisination, antifa (who are largely Bernie bros) committing actual violence and destroying public property, and now this. It seems like one side openly fantasizes about violence and murder a lot more than the other on twitter/fb/social media.

I'm all for free speech, but just like many things, the left will never believe it is a value worth preserving until they die by their own sword. Once "speech has consequence" becomes equal opportunity, then they will change their minds in a way that arguing and reasoning will never do.

Are you inciting violence?

There's a large amount of truth to what you say. In general terms, the right is made up of people who follow the rules. That's pretty much the definition of a conservative. They/we talk a lot, but in the end tend to operate within the boundaries set by society.

The left are more rule-breakers. That's not always a bad thing because sometimes the rules are wrong but this generation of rule-breakers are doing it in a fashion that could end very badly for them and the country.

The right, or if you wish, the people that elected Trump along with the majority of the Senate and House, are overwhelmingly the people that make up the military, they're the cops, they're the hunters, they're the NRA members. Or, put another way, they're the people capable of and competent at a level of violence we never, ever want to see. Some of the so-called 'leaders' of the left need to start calling out their own before some of the unhinged on the right decide to act out too.

Well said.
