Violent intent how? That doesn't make any sense at all.

And given as much as you use the word "left", "leftist" or "Progressive" as a pejorative, I'd say you have no room to criticize anyone on this.

Those labels are completely neutral as violent terms, and you know it. You may even ascribe yourself to them. I use them as a non-violent description. The use of teabagger and neocon is used as an attack of those whom you disagree..

Calling something "neocon" is just as neutral (or not) as calling something "Progressive". Both can be used neutrally, both can be spat through clenched teeth as an insult. You can't say that one is always used neutrally while the other never is.

Well anyway, nice to see Gifford is progressing well all things considered!

Are you following me? PLZ stop that. Unless you are merely contributing to the conversation. I think that OK, and appropriate..

By all means mock me for any reason.

Well, it is great to see Gifford make great strides in her recovery.
