Eh, a distinction without much of a difference, I think.I dunno X, sounds like the Mafia.

One doctor. What about all the other doctors who are providing abortion services; are you talking about them, too?
Okay.Actually I was thinking of fairly mainstream anti-abortion groups who are publishing so called “Wanted” posters to intimidate, threaten and otherwise terrorize abortion providers in this country. But, feel free to offer your own instances.
Many union officials have ordered or approved of violent, coercive, and harassing conduct aimed at making an example of employees who don't toe the union line. The National Institute for Labor Relations Research has compiled a list of incidents of union violence that average nearly 300 per year for the last 30 years. The following cases are just a few examples.
… I don't approve of it, and I condemn it …
So violence is not acceptable to you even for what you consider a good cause. We're in agreement.
When I see anti-abortion groups publishing their faux “Wanted” posters I consider it a violent act, an incitement to violence. It is well and good to speak out against things you think are wrong, as I do against capital punishment, but, to attempt to intimidate, threaten or terrorize your political opponents is wrong and is an attack on the foundations of our political system.
Violence against your fellow Americans? Okay.
Would you ever seek to terrorize your neighbors?
Publish lists of political enemies to be targeted?
Is all this acceptable? Are there any limits to the tactics you would be willing to commit against your political opponents?
LOL, thanks, SB. It'll be interesting to see if that someone is equally as indignant over these activities.lol, I don't agree with my boy X on a lot of things, but someone got nailed here.

Help us to understand what you mean. Do you think unions are very violent politically? Do they promote violence in American politics frequently?
I found the Tea Party's language to filled with threats of inappropriate political violence.
I find what appear to be mainstream anti-abortionist groups to be promoting violence against their political opponents.
Is any of this acceptable?
Uhh, I find that to be a pretty big stretch. This ain't the Wild West.
Do you see the difference between language and actions?
Help us here, how would you narrow the question? Is violence in America today, acceptable? Question Mark. Asked another way: who if anyone, in your opinion, deserves to be attacked because of their politics?

Some segments of the Tea Party, yes. Then again, only the most hate-filled ignorant mother****ers are interesting enough for the media to report on, so I wouldn't say that most of their members or supporters are violent. I dislike the Tea Party, but to characterize the whole movement as violent is unfair.I found the Tea Party's language to filled with threats of inappropriate political violence.

I think language is action. We are tolerant of most political speech but when a speaker incites others to commit violence they've crossed a line.
