Shocker

I would say unsurprising is because if it is home grown domestic terrorism brought on by the lunatic left constant viciousness calling for violence, disruption and getting a small percentage of the base so worked up that they become unhinged, than it is no way no how the victims fault, quite the opposite. It is like the maniacs killing police after the BLM group was given legitimacy by a Dems instead of denouncing them.
Instead of constant bickering and disruption, the government should be allowed to lead and improve the country but we have idiots like Pelosi who are like babies having a tantrum because they did not get their way.


Hopefully the injured recover fully

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Guess my statement applies to you as well when you get a chance pull your head from the sand that it's firmly planted in and take your own advice

This guy is part of the problem not the solution.

And this does not raise eyebrows?

This is the Rhetoric people are talking about.
And then you have the gun control nuts bringing up gun control immediately. Like Colin Noir says, "gun control is what you talk about when you don't want to talk about the truth"

found this interesting http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40331765

Mr Carver, the Republican Party chairman in Georgia's 11th Congressional District, told the Post "the shooting is going to win this election for us".
He went on: "Moderates and independents in this district are tired of left-wing extremism. I get that there's extremists on both sides, but we are not seeing them."

Not seeing those on his side ?? another person who was asleep the last 8 years it seems

Do we need to find examples in local elections that point the other way too?

All the extremism sucks. But both parties continue to run extreme candidates.

Yes, all the extremism sucks. We have seen 2 people in this thread argue 1 way yet argue the exact opposite way w/Gabby G.

In a nation of 300 million people there are kooks on both sides.

But the vitriol is far more toxic on the left. It's not even close. While of course there are right wing jerks who do nothing but preach hate, it's not anywhere near the norm. It's par for the course on the left. Compare the last few heads of the dnc and the dnc. Compare harry Reid and Mitch McConnell, compare Paul Ryan and nancy pelosi, compare foxnews and the absolute freak show at MSNBC.
The left no longer has any place, at the national level, f

I'd love to get a political definition of "extreme"

rigid?
committed?
unfiltered?
orientation on issues?
volume and quality of rhetoric?
anyone that disagrees with you?(current best pick)

seems more(generally) a convenient label where one stands where they are standing and labels those outside their box "extreme"...like a "centrist" except they use a circle instead of a box

the left jumped immediately to the Gifford's shooting but that guy was an "extreme" paranoid schizophrenic.....not sure if that should be included in the realm of political extremism or what motivated him was much beyond being out of touch with reality....does having a mental illness and any unfortunate actions associated with it make you an "extremist" when/if you act and if a victim of your actions is a political figure and is political rhetoric to blame?

"extremist" is one of those words, like many others, so beaten to death by the political and media class in a rush to characterize those that disagree as "extreme" then echoed through society that it barely has meaning....just thrown out there as a qualifier to say...you are and I'm not so I'm a better person, shut up....like many other words these days....stick and stones...blah...blah..blah...but words....they travel faster......

this doesn't sound extreme

Hillary Clinton ✔ @HillaryClinton

Forget death panels. If Republicans pass this bill, they're the death party.

So you're accusing the Democrats of being responsible for this isn't vitriol? You don't consider yourself an extremist?

I don't think the Democrats are responsible for this, I think this was a random kook. Fair enough?

I do think the Democrats were absolutely responsible for the wave of cop assassinations that took place, where the killers explicitly said they were targeting cops. That's on the liberals. You invite the pig Al Sharpton to the Oval Office 50 or 60 times, you shriek on the air, over and over, that cops are targeting blacks, you don't even question the fact that the BLM movement was literally built on something that never happened (that the fat jerk in Ferguson had his hands up).

As I said, compare apples to apples. Of course there are violent maniacs on the right. But they are on the fringe (with the possible exception of Trump). On the left, at the national level, that's almost all you see.

Compare the heads of each party's national committee, the leaders in the house, the leaders in the senate, the prime time hosts at Fox vs MSNBC. You really see no difference in the vitriol there? Harry Reid is as dignified as Mitch McConnell? Nancy Pelosi is as dignified as Paul Ryan? Rachael Maddow is as rational as Megyn Kelly? Give me a break.

It's bad enough as it is. A liberal at cbs says the republican assassination attempt was " self inflicted", and a host at MSNBC says that the congressman may be clinging to life, but that doesn't mean we have a moral obligation to stop calling him a racist. That from a tv host. Who on the right has their own tv show, who would say that?
