This keeps coming up.
- Despite (or maybe because of) the fact that left-wing protestors actually smash and burn things in riots and try to shut down Free Speech and injure people by swinging heavy-duty bike locks at them…
- and despite (or maybe because of) the fact that a Bernie bro was out to kill Republicans – and some Democrats cheered him for it…
- and despite (or maybe because of) the fact that the Left endlessly engages in inflammatory rhetoric to convince people that conservatives must be killed because they are Nazi Putin-loving fascists who want to push Grandma off the cliff in her wheelchair…
- and despite (or maybe because of) the fact that the Left now does death threats on an unprecedented scale and blatant “assassination porn” from its artists…
Despite (or maybe because of) those things, lefties still claim to feel threatened by the Right and wring their hands over the possibility of right-wing violence.
Relax, lefties! You’re the violent ones. Breitbart has a roundup for you.
It’s worth reading in full. The short version is: Most – not all, but most – of the serious political violence in America, like assassinations and explosions, comes from the Left. Enjoy!
By the way: I haven’t seen a Steve Scalise update since June 22, when he was transferred out of Intensive Care. Hopefully, “no news is good news”.
UPDATE: Julian Assange’s Twitter stream around June 30 is full of examples of lefties making death threats on him or explaining why he should be ‘droned’. (Plus examples where CNN approved of violence against journalists.)
But… but… one Republican actually decked a holy journalist, you guys!
Remember when Gabby Gifford was shot by an unhinged Progressive? How could you forget, it was wall to wall coverage on every major gun grabbing network until she was released. Now, silence from the same set of networks. The difference? The networks are glad one of the two was shot.
With all this talk of violence,we need something to lighten the mood.

And while we are at it, ILikeCapitalism,
If you are going to write this, “Relax, lefties! You’re the violent ones. Breitbart has a roundup for you. It’s worth reading in full. The short version is: Most – not all, but most – of the serious political violence in America, like assassinations and explosions, comes from the Left. Enjoy!”
… then too right I enjoyed this lop-sided presentation! I hope my one sided presentation in my comment above now leads you to say that righties are the violent ones. Or perhaps we can more accurately say–there are those on BOTH the right and the left who think that violence is the first resort.
Looks like my earlier link riddled comment didn’t post, sigh.
But…but…liberals feel unsafe because right-wing radio talk show hosts are criticizing them. And some people are wearing MAGA caps. And Trump made fun of Mika and Joe.
And that’s the same as shooting at somebody, or blowing somebody up with a bomb. Because words are just as hurtful as bullets or shrapnel,. Therefore, if you say something politically incorrect, the Antifa thugs are justified in spraying you with OC, or beating you over the head with a bike lock. In the same way that you would be justified in shooting an intruder who broke into your house and charged at you with an ax.
Except, if you shot an armed intruder in self-defense, the liberals would say that you were NOT justified, and they would want you to be prosecuted for violating his civil rights.
We must be grateful for the small things. Cas, if now you’re saying the Left and Right are equivalently violent, then at least you’ve come out of denial.
I don’t know if they are equivalently violent, ILikeCapitalism–but do I get to be grateful for small things, and get to say that this small comment suggests that you feel similarly–that violence is a problem in the left and the right, ILikeCapitalism?
