Didn't know right wing terrorists were part of the occupy movement.

The left is littered with fringe groups that have murdered and destroyed.


The simple fact is both sides have crazies and anyone who tries to label the whole party because of the acts of a very very small minority who's actions are condoned by the rest of the party are only partaking in political grandstanding to make themselves feel good. A 6 year old can see through their argument. It is sad, really.

Remember that next time you make a blanket statement about 'libs'.

Be sure to call out all the cons, too, when they do it.

In before "His parents' next-door neighbor's cousin once attended a Democrat political rally so that proves he's really a Democrat."

Your post doesn't make sense.

I and at least one other think you have made blanket statements about democrats/liberals.


That would be like. "You liberals are always doing this." Maybe not your exact words but close enough.

I'm sorry - how many people did OWS kill?

And which party has a platform that involves - at best - marginalizing minorities? And which party is full of extremists with violence fetishes that want to do far more than that? The Tea Party is the answer...

Both sides may have extremists, but it is downright laughable to try to claim that there's about an equal number of them on both sides and they are equally dangerous.

I've lived my whole life in blue parts of blue states - over 30 years - and I have yet to meet a dangerous "left wing extremist." I've met a few who were really stupid, sure, but not one of them was remotely a threat to anyone. On the flip side, I've met no shortage of ignorant, hate-filled, and violence obsessed right-wing extremists who made no bones about their desire to "kill those people who need killing" - the government, NATO stormtroopers, anyone to the left of them, minorities, etc. If it is so easy to find such people in blue states and so hard to find the left-wing equivalent in the same locations, one can safely conclude that right-wing extremists are far more common - and more dangerous- than left-wing extremists.

For the most part, the "dangerous left-wing extremist" is a boogie-man created by those on the far-right to justify their own violent and extremist behavior... because two wrongs make a right, especially when the "left wing extremist" is about as common as the "welfare momma in a Cadillac."

How can you say that when Obama spends time with William Ayers? The huge list of democrat mass murderers over the last couple of decades. Plus organization and people like the ELF, ALF, James Blanning, Carol Burger, etc.

You cannot even get away from your talking points, you just double down with all republicans are racists mantra. It is tiring.
