To paraphrase the Miracle Whip commercial: "No, I will not tone it down!"
I--we on the left--have nothing to tone down. I just spent a dee-lite-full hour or so looking at the comments in the AOL news, and my own local paper. With very few exceptions, every comment is vitriol directed at liberals. Once in a while there might be some innocuous comment saying that we really don't know the shooter's political affiliation or pointing out that he did specifically target a Democrat. Those comments are immediately met with showers of insults, name-calling, and yes, violent rhetoric.

So again, quit telling US to tone it down, quit telling US it's both sides, because it is not.

1. On that I agree. I cannot stand to go to other sites because they
are much much worse then this site. And I am thankful to the owners and moderators who make it that way. I like our rules. When we get too far over the line they call us back.
