The sanctity of freedom of expression (particularly political expression) is something all patriotic Americans regardless of party agree on.

I'm not soo sure. When you're holding political meetings that are to "get on target" to eliminate people from office, i think violence and politics are a bit too closely associated. We have to be careful how close we associate guns, revolution, and vigilantism with our politics. Politics is a way to solve problems WITHOUT violence, and violence is the opposite of what we strive for.
