my charges have never been successfully challenged or disputed.

if you make homophobic comments, I may call you a homophobe.

if you make racist comments, I may call you a racist.

if you make anti-Jewish comments, I may call you an anti-Semite.

No apologies are deserved and I will make none.

What may I call someone who is a judgmental tool?

There is probably a long list of examples of violence on the left, going back before Obama's buddy Ayers, and of course continuing after it.

On the right I can think of the anti-abortion criminals, maybe a few others.

So yeah, it certainly seems the left tends towards violence more frequently and quicker.

A few others? Adaptive memory problems? How do you forget the worst domestic terror act in 100 years at least? The Oklahoma City bombing is the grandaddy of them all...............

The Oklahoma City bombing was a terrorist bomb attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. It would remain the most destructive act of terrorism on American soil until the September 11, 2001 attacks. The Oklahoma blast claimed 168 lives, including 19 children under the age of 6,[1] and injured more than 680 people.[2] The blast destroyed or damaged 324 buildings within a sixteen-block radius, destroyed or burned 86 cars, and shattered glass in 258 nearby buildings.[3][4] The bomb was estimated to have caused at least $652 million worth of damage.[5] Extensive rescue efforts were undertaken by local, state, federal, and worldwide agencies in the wake of the bombing, and substantial donations were received from across the country. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) activated eleven of its Urban Search and Rescue Task Forces, consisting of 665 rescue workers who assisted in rescue and recovery operations.[6][7]Within 90 minutes of the explosion, Timothy McVeigh was stopped by Oklahoma State Trooper Charlie Hanger for driving without a license plate and arrested for unlawfully carrying a weapon.[8][9] Forensic evidence quickly linked McVeigh and Terry Nichols to the attack; Nichols was arrested,[10] and within days both were charged. Michael and Lori Fortier were later identified as accomplices. McVeigh, an American militia movement sympathizer, had detonated an explosive-filled Ryder truck parked in front of the building. McVeigh's co-conspirator, Terry Nichols, had assisted in the bomb preparation. Motivated by his hatred of the federal government and angered by what he perceived as its mishandling of the Waco Siege (1993) and the Ruby Ridge incident (1992), McVeigh timed his attack to coincide with the second anniversary of the deadly fire that ended the siege at Waco.[11][12]

Yep, a few others, McVeigh would count as one of that small number.

Here are a "few" more.....

RIGHT-WING VIOLENCE.... In light of the shootings at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in D.C. this afternoon, allegedly committed by white supremacist James Von Brunn, Matt Yglesias noted, "I hope that everyone who mau-maued the Department of Homeland Security for expressing concern about this kind of thing feel appropriately ashamed of themselves."

It's hardly an unreasonable point. Two months ago, Richard Poplawski, a right-wing extremist, allegedly gunned down three police officers in Pittsburgh, in part because he feared the non-existent "Obama gun ban." A few weeks ago, Scott Roeder, another right-wing extremist, allegedly assassinated Dr. George Tiller in Kansas. A few hours ago, Von Brunn, another right-wing extremist, allegedly opened fire at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

There are other recent examples that bear similar characteristics. This story out of Tennessee from last year continues to haunt.

Knoxville police Sunday evening searched the Levy Drive home of Jim David Adkisson after he allegedly entered the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church and killed two people and wounded six others during the presentation of a children's musical. [...]

Inside the house, officers found "Liberalism is a Mental Health Disorder" by radio talk show host Michael Savage, "Let Freedom Ring" by talk show host Sean Hannity, and "The O'Reilly Factor," by television talk show host Bill O'Reilly.

The shotgun-wielding suspect in Sunday's mass shooting at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church was motivated by a hatred of "the liberal movement," and he planned to shoot until police shot him, Knoxville Police Chief Sterling P. Owen IV said this morning.

Adkisson, 58, of Powell wrote a four-page letter in which he stated his "hatred of the liberal movement," Owen said. "Liberals in general, as well as gays."

And a "few" more....

On the morning of January 17 in Spokane, Washington, city workers found a backpack with a bomb that was set to go off along the route of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade. An FBI official (Spokane Spokesman Review, 1/19/11) called the bomb “a viable device that was very lethal and had the potential to inflict multiple casualties.” Another official told the Associated Press (1/19/11), “They haven’t seen anything like this in this country.… This was the worst device, and most intentional device, I’ve ever seen

On March 9, Kevin Harpham, a white supremacist with past links to the neo-Nazi National Alliance, was arrested and charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and possessing an improvised explosive device. The device contained shrapnel dipped in rat poison, which can enhance bleeding (Hate Watch blog, 3/10/11), and was set on a park bench where its impact would be directed toward marchers.

Right-Wing Political Violence: More Terror, Less Coverage | Common Dreams

How many before it's not a few anymore?
 
Yes, as I said, a few. Funny, I mentioned Von Brunn as well. He realistically exhibited traits of both extreme left and right. But the left is quick to call anyone that kills a right winger, like the AZ shooting, buy a guy that turned out to be totally nuts, but closer to a liberal than a conservative.

So not sure what your point is, I said both sides do it, I just see one side doing it a hell of a lot more often.
 
the key word in all these acts of violence is " extremist"....

it don't matter much if you are left, right or other.. if you are an extremist, you are generally dangerous..... and the person who excuses extremists of his "side" is generally even more dangerous (albeit in an entirely different fashion)

i'm not ashamed to say that myself and Timothy Mcveigh hold/held similar beliefs ( especially over Waco and Ruby Ridge).. but I cannot excuse his acts of violence based on our shared beliefs...i'm overjoyed that he has permanently left the gene pool.. and thankful he didn't procreate before departing for the afterlife.

so logically something Breitbart does justifies calls the lynching of a black SCOTUS judge and your defense of such actions. Who knew there was a streak of racism in the Marxist left? :lol:

Karl said:
Of course since Beitbart was laughing during the filming, and most of his respondents were laughing too, I don't really think most of them were annoyed...

It provides context, something that -- when included -- causes your post, and the OP, to fail.

And speaking of failure, you have doubled down on that for if you had bothered to watch the video, as I previously suggested, you would have seen that at least one called for the 'lynching' of Thomas' wife as well. Ergo, your blanket claim of racism fails. Am I the only one detecting a pattern here? :2razz:

that is a lie. The KKK was founded by six Confederate Army veterans.

and after Johnson signed the Civil Rights & Voting Rights Acts, racist white Southerners abandoned the Democrats and joined the Republicans, who welcomed them with open arms.

Hey No.... No.... stop it.... bad boy...

His political views, whether they came from mental illness or not, have no bearing on his violent actions nor is there any meaningful point to be made by trying to label one side or another as more violent.

If you honest to God thought that it didn't matter, you wouldn't be trying to push him out of your "camp" and into the other.

You know, Thunder, it is frequently the racist who charges others with racism. I believe it is because the racist views everything through a lense of racism. When your world view is distorted by racism then everyone is colored by your view of the world. Anyone who sees racism everywhere, in every action, is, more likely than not, a racist himself.

Try to keep it to yourself.
 
Lets not forget Dr. Tiller who was shot dead at his church after being demonized by Bill O'Reilly on TV.

Irony meter, heading off the charts.

Sometimes people are nut jobs no matter what, sometimes they are driven by the politics they believe in. Do you disagree that many on the left have a history of trying to place every 'shooter' as an evil extremist right winger?

I hear this is an argument used by the KKK a lot.

"all you Liberals who accuse us of racism, really just hate the white race!!!!"

LOL Actually, it's the Right who likes edit Wikipedia. When Sarah Palin made several mistakes on Paul Revere's ride, those on the right sought to edit Wikipedia to match what she said.
