Apparently a crazy Bernie supporter. I guess the violent rhetoric of the left has finally produced the desired result.

Jesus can there be one day without you going FULL retard? FFS!

"the left"
Oh what bull****!

This is all bad enough without your crap!
This has nothing to do with "the left" or whatever political side, and you know that!
Yet you abuse this opportunity to smear the "enemy team", of course!

It doesn't get much lower, really!

It couldn't be more obvious that highly disturbed individuals such as the deranged gunman using baseball-playing Republican congressmen for target practice on Wednesday can come from all political, ethnic, racial and religious categories; nevertheless, it's high time for some introspection from the left. This should be a wake-up call for them. Indeed, for the sake of our country, it had better be.

This man came from the extreme end of Trump Derangement Syndrome, but he didn't emerge entirely by himself. He came from a petri dish that we are all submerged in, nurturing hate as never before in most of our lifetimes.
We need look no further than yesterday's grilling of Jeff Sessions by the Senate Intelligence Committee. This investigation is putatively about Russian interference in our election, but we learned nothing about that. Not a thing. In fact, it was barely mentioned. The entire event was used as a means to "get Trump" and/or his associates. Senators like Heinrich ooze hate, obviously playing to a likeminded crowd. It is indeed a "witch hunt" and any reader ofThe Crucible knows where that leads.

Meanwhile, just this past weekend, here in Los Angeles, we had our annual gay pride celebration. But it didn't seem to be about pride at all, only about unremitting attacks on our president (and by implication anyone Republican), as if everyone in the streets would have been delighted to see a replay of Kathy Griffin's nauseating decapitation or the denouement of the current Shakespeare in the Park production where a Trump/Caesar is beheaded nightly. (Ironically, Trump was on record for gay marriage long before Clinton or Obama, but facts mean nothing to the pussy-hatted.)

And then there were the wild accusations of anti-Semitism when nearly half of Trump's family is Jewish and -- as it turned out -- of the few such incidents that have occurred since his inauguration none were committed by his supporters. In fact, they all came from the left. This was, of course, barely reported. It didn't fit the narrative of hate.

And this is to omit the most horrifying examples of all -- the absolutely despicable behavior toward conservatives on our campuses. It's like the return of the Brown Shirts.
Sense a pattern?

Really Von Due, Rockstar, August? give it a rest guys. The shooter is dead, the shootee is out of surgery, and hopefully recovers, time to call it a day.

If this were some lone nutcase I'd agree but this guy is totally the product of the extreme vitriol that the left has spewed at what they call "deplorables" and "bitter clingers" ever since Trump won the election and even if that hate ended today, which we all know it won't, there will be more of these incidents. They make jokes and plays about assassinating Republicans and this is the natural result.

Just like right wingers talking about hanging hillary, Obama, sanders and god knows who else for "being a traitor".

You seem relieved, perhaps even happy that you can trace this crime back to a political position that you don't agree with.

Is the political history of this criminal really the most important factor in this tragedy in your viewpoint?

Anyone else notice some of the people who are posting outrage over the attack and are decrying the use of a violent act to affect politics are some of the same people who blithely and glibly have made posts in other threads about a call to arms, a 'civil war', if the current administration is ousted, some even to the point of describing the arm and munitions to be used?...

I'm not saying ... I'm just saying...

I do? Well you know what they say about assumptions Platapus...

It is if you want to prevent a repetition of it. The Democrats and their allies have been using increasingly disparaging and violent rhetoric against Republicans (any anyone else who doesn't support them) ever since the election and it appears that it drove one of their supporters to act it out. Who knows how many more just like him there are out there? I think it's time to call them on it before this incident becomes remembered as the opening shots of a second American civil war.

This was posted today:

Whose Violence? --

https://jacobinmag.com/2017/06/steve...ernie-sanders/

Some will, no doubt, point out Jacobin is a left-wing magazine: freely admitted, but if you're going to argue, argue the facts in the article, not the source...

...and as far as inciting or encouraging violence...well...:

Trump’s History of Encouraging Violence --

https://www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...-violence.html

NOTE: The article was published 16 March 2016, eight months before the election; I'm pretty sure if there an update, the video would be longer...
