Would anybody like to bet me I can list more "arrested" anti government, right wing crazies threatening violence, than whatever obscure left winger you can list?

I'd love to see statistics for the first claim.

I'm sure that YOU know more right-wing crazies than left-wingers making threats. You're biased enough that I doubt you know about all the anarchist liberals threatening violence.

No, one person threatening violence against Obama does not prove that Conservatives are more violent. It just means that there are crazy people on all sides of the political spectrum.

Guess what padcrasher.......WE DON'T CONDONE ANY DEATH THREATS!

So sorry you do.

I take a personal affront to ANY death threat made on ANY public official (or private citizen for that matter) regardless of their political leaning.

When you do that, you threaten the very root of the Democracy I love and live under.

That's so scary. I think that being a government official, no matter what party, would be scary. I hope your representative stays safe Kangrui.

Here's yet another example of the "real" results of right wing propaganda effects on their crazies.

Knoxville Unitarian Universalist church shooting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You forgot to mention there is no evidence the guy was right wing. And the book he was carrying was written by Beranrd Goldberg, a known Democrat.

I don't understand this thread. Is the point to say that only radical liberals make death threats? Is the point to say that not only radical conservatives make death threats?

Democrats and Republicans are victims of death threats from extremists on both sides of the aisle. So.... what's the point here?

That's not the point of this thread. The point is that "liberals" are as bad as right wingers when it comes to threatening violence.


I'm gonna shred that right here and now.

The point was that it's "equal"....

Well it's not "equal"....by scale and degree right wing/anti-goverment/anti-aborthion threats and acts of violence far exceed what's coming from the left.

The POINT (as if you couldn't tell from the title and post ) is to show how when there's a death threat or shooting, who are first people to get the finger pointed at them?

I hope I don't have to explain that also.
