Pride in mobs is ugly regardless of which extremity they represent. If you don't think ugly behavior begets ugly behavior, you are fooling yourselves.

Re-read the Media Matters article; nowhere in there is it said that Right-wingers assassinated JFK. Nowhere does it posit anything at all about who the assassin was, that matter is not touched upon in any way, shape or form.The source article notes the similarities between the political climates of the time period and today, the levels of vitriol and similarities in accusations leveled by the Right against the President. He does not say that ramped-up Radical Right-wing hate CAUSES violence, only that it generally occurs at the same time. Correlation does not equal causation--you are putting those words in his mouth (so to speak).Is he right, and does that mean anything? I don't know, but I do know that you're fabricating a story to stir up controversy. Shame on you.

They just can't stand letting the other side air their views. Such a fearful group. You guys need a hobby. LOL.Thanks Blinker1315 for Digging it, though.

During Bush's administration, it was the Left up in arms over his power-centralizing policies and war. During Clinton's administration, it was the Right against NAFTA, BJs, etc etc. It's always the same story with a different face, probably right on back to George Washington--and really, it's a matter of balance. The Left needs the Right to curb its worst tendencies, and the Right needs the Left for the same. As one of your leftists, even I think this guy is off his rocker.
