If "both sides" have to take down violent rhetoric where will we hear the sound of a pin dropping?

It'll be entirely obvious who was promoting it when it's "all" gone from the air waves.

It's been coming from the right. They're the ones who will be left scrambling for a new approach.

2. And they have no other meme but the equivalency argument which is empty on its face

3. It is time for us to go for the throat.
Republicans like to punch then cry "lets play nice"

4. The M$M plays the 'both sides' lie recorder 24/7, because they
can't let their viewing fans know that the Left doesn't go out and murder people over political ideology. Sad and very damaging overall to the country imo.

5. Agreed. Furthermore, if I hear "to be fair" one more time I'll retch
This is no game. People have been murdered. I'm with Sheriff Dupnik and the sentiments he expressed last night.

7. Of course not...
The right wing has had to reach back 40 years to certain anti Vietnam protesters to find some example.

But in doing that, they're really making excuses for why it's okay for their leaders and followers to use inflammatory rhetoric. They've boxed themselves in and eventually someone is going to accuse one of them of that on the air. And I can't wait.
