You're kidding, right? The right wing is a huge cesspool of hatred. High ranking Republican officials and their allies in the right wing media have said so many horrible things one can barely begin to recount them.

Neither party has a lock on civil discourse.

I see it's only offensive now that it's the Alternate Universe President of the US.
I thought we entered into a new era of public expressions of civility.

Why is this an example of innocent satire by the left, but when we have an AZ shooting, then the right has blood on their hands, and we need a public demand by the president for civility?

As I said in the opening post, I could understand the left being concerned about public civility by conservatives, if conservatives made as many public statements as liberals have, about the death of the president or the deaths of liberal political figures. But the truth is that there is a dearth of conservative examples like this one.

So why do so many libs make public statements about the death of or killing of their political opponents?

Cough up the examples then.

Got any books or movies about the assassination of 0bama. How about conservative plays about killing liberal politicians or public figures, or maybe some cable talk show hosts or conservatives actors wishing people would die, or screaming for the stoning deaths of liberal politicians?

The point is, that it is common for public liberal figures to call for the deaths of conservatives in public, not so much the other way around.

Give a liberal enough air time, and before you know it they will call for some conservative to either die, be assassinated, have a heart attack, or wish some ill or accident upon them to end their lives, not so much the other way around.
