God, guns & liberals – Republican hate become manifest
The risk of blasting increasingly hysterical hate talk at the general populace is that some of the ‘looser-hinged’ members of society might not only take it literally, but would in fact choose to ‘take matters into their own hands.’ Case in point – a gun-totin’, fundee redneck blasting up a Unitarian Universalist church because of “his stated hatred for the liberal movement.”
Sadly, I suspect that under a Dem Presidency & Congress we’ll see more of this bloody lunacy, not less, as the ousted Reactionaries attempt a return to power ‘through other means.’
Stumble it!

Limbaugh + testosterone + guns + alcohol + racism + sociopathy = Jim “Asshole” Adkisson, a “really nice guy.” They ought to charge Limbaugh with contributing to the delinquency of a dipshit.

“The risk of blasting increasingly hysterical hate talk at the general populace is that some of the ‘looser-hinged’ members of society might not only take it literally, but would in fact choose to ‘take matters into their own hands.’”
This gets the Feldman Award for hypocrisy. In progressive circles, hate-talk is perfectly acceptable if the target of the hate is named Clinton.

Resultant death threats:

And still the progressives believe that Republicans created the PUMA movement — when it was actually created by progressives themselves.
And you dare to denounce “hate talk”? Could you POSSIBLY by less self-aware?

Well I’m no fan of Hillary, but I swear I’ve never left hateful comments and death threats on your site! Having been the target of a redneck death threat myself, I am rather sensitive to such matters.
The key point to keep in mind Mr. Cannon, is that for the last few decades at least, the reactionaries are the ones who are armed and carrying out death threats (Eric Rudolph, Timothy McVeigh, Aryan Nations murder of Alan Berg, etc).
There might be some looser hinged ‘Obots’ as you term them running around, but to the best of my knowledge, they haven’t been actually shooting or blowing up ‘Hillbots’.

Although there’s always a few wackos out there, my inner Karl Rove suspects the vast majority of “Hillary Haters” are false-flag McCain supporters.

Imagine if the church attacked had been anything other than Unitarian. Imagine if the attacker were a muslim and jihad literature was found in his house. No one would write him off as a loony and assume that the jihad literature had nothing to do with it. The publishers of the jihad literature would be put on the terroist list and their assets would be seized. You can’t have it both ways– either Hannity and Savage are complicit in terrorism and should be treated as criminals. or Islamic organizations that advocate but do not engage in jihad should be protected by free speech laws.

I agree completely ‘the exile’, the reactionaries seem to get a free pass for their extremism. Even as we sip our lattes and comment on this little blog on the weekends, dozens of wrong-wing militia groups don camo and play radical warrior in various parks across America. Freaky stuff.
