And there was no evidence that violent, political rhetoric cause the shooting.

Again, beautifully illustrating the difference between the left and right brain. I despise Obama with every ounce of my being, but I would NEVER understand calling for shooting or killing him. EVER. To say you don't condone, but "understand" means you think it's not a wrong thing, in my opinion.

Oh really? As if Obama never receives death threats. They happen all the time. Take read on the Wikipedia page...

Barack Obama assassination threats - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's preposterous to insinuate that right wingers never make threats of violence. Get your head out if the sand!

Satire. It was a takeoff of Sam Kinison. This beatifully illustrates how the right has no sense of humor. You guys bore the crap out of me.

"No, I don't condone any sort of violent behavior towards women...I UNDERSTAND IT. "] Sam Kinison.

If a comedian said it, it must be OK

And right-wingers never stoop to that - right. People have been attacked for Obama bumper stickers. So there are depraved people everywhere - why is this big news to you?

"Understand" is not synonymous with "sympathize".
Understand: "To perceive and comprehend the nature and significance of; grasp". Why rewrite the dictionary - leave that to Limbaugh.

Sounds like a plan to me! When do we start?

The repub base, corporations and the wealthy, own the media.

To normal people it means there are upcoming elections that may not be looking good for your party.
But, when people from the left are tweeting they want to kill Walker I can see where it would be easier to view a casual comment as a threat. It must be terrifying to associate with violent people. I'm sure I would get to the point of overanalyzing trivial comments too if I were continually surrounded by violent attitudes.
The "left" is not a party. Where do you righties get this crap? Various Dems receive plenty of death threats, including Obama and radio talkers. Where do you get your info (I know, real information is not much fun for you).

You want incest? Check repubs and the billionaire 1%. Jeez, you don't hate incest at all - it works just fine for you.
