AZ shooting victim arrested for making death threats against Tea Party leader

Re: Shooting Victim Threatens Tea Partier

American Leftists see American Conservatives as an existential threat. American Conservatives see American Leftists as an existential threat. Neither side sees China as an existential threat.

The conflict between the American Left and Right will have to be allowed to play itself out and the consequences be damned. One side must win and the other side must lose before the country can act effectively with respect to any foreign threat.

I see the extemists on BOTH sides as an existential threat... an existential threat to the notion that we can have civilized political discourse!

On the surface that would seem fair enough but in fact it hasn't been 'both sides' who have been making the threats and accusations. It has been the Left.

In THIS case, that is true. But if you are going to try to convince me and others that the Right doesn't have its share of hateful rhetoric, it will fall on blind eyeballs in this case...

Hateful?

I'm not convinced. I see much more of it coming from the left and this case is a pefect example.

The left also construes any criticism as "hatred", which distorts the picture as well.
