It's January 8, does anyone else find it a bit shocking that since the beginning of the year..

[Fumesucker]

There have been three political assassination attempts on Democratic politicians?

The Governor of Maryland.

The Head of Homeland Security.

And today, a Congressperson.

My question to you is this.. How long before the media goes with the meme "Both sides do it"?

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. The violence is ratcheting up, indeed

[valerief]

2. You mean they're not doing it already? I expect this story to be dead by Monday since

Gifford was a Dem.

3. You're too late--CNN, this morning. nt

[Iris]

4. Seriously?

what is wrong with people?

5. Wasnt there a federal Judge murdered today?

Didn't he also have death threats?

[blondeatlast]

11. Yes, Judge John Roll--and he did receive death threats. OTOH, that's not

completely unusual for Federal judges.

6. but the pukes won,

not the senate, but they did win a majority in the house, wtf is wrong with these people?

[LiberalEsto]

7. And the Maryland Secretary of Transportation

received one of the mail bombs too

[butterfly77]

8. K&R!

[walldude]

9. Shit it took a DU'er 5 minutes to blame the "left"

for wanting to "turn the other cheek". Shouldn't take the media too long...

10. New relaxed gun laws in some states

coupled with increasingly bold and "acceptable" incitement rhetoric on the right ("second amendment remedies," etc.) may lead to more of it.
