Delusion.
I see no Trump supporters outside Bernie/Hillary events labelling their supporters the enemy. I see plenty of it from the leftists though, mobs of them, violent, harassing and assaulting Trump supporters and approaching them as their enemies.
So violent and so threatening in fact, the SJ police stood down.
But hey, enjoy that rock you're living under.
Enjoy the diet of falsehood and deception. These are not the majority of leftists no matter how desperately you wish they were. I've advocated no violence, I argue against it at every turn. No one that I know, and evidently no one on ATS (considering your failure to cite a single example) has spoken in support of this crap, either.
So you're a saint, big deal.
Tell that to the people attacking innocent people that they are not leftists.
Sounds familiar, hmm.
And you seem not to be reading all the posts here if you think there is no support for this crap.
You yourself have inserted a "BUT" after faux condemnation of the violence.
Hypocrite.

But you're not asking those on the left to take "personal responsibility". You're asking the left, "the Royal Left", to take responsibility for the actions of people they do not control, have not communicated with, and do not know.
But, many on the left ask for police officers to take personal responsibility for the actions of other officers that break the law, whom they cannot control.
Officers they have never met, nor never worked with. I mean as an officer in Florida I cannot control what an officer does in another city, let alone another state.
Why the double standard?
I think am starting to see quite a few double standards brought to light by the recent violence against Trump supporters.

Are you lying or merely daft? No one on the left I know is siding with those acting out with violence.
Until the good Sanders and Clinton supporters start speaking out against, and make attempts to stop the violence other Sanders and Clinton supporters commit, they are just as guilty as the bad ones.
Well, at least that is what many on the left say about good cops speaking out against, and stopping bad cops.
The same applies in these situations right?

And where are all the ATS liberals to call these troublemakers out and demand they be prosecuted. Oh yeah...it isn't a riot when the left do it. It isn't hate when the left does it. It isn't a riot, just a protest when the left do it. Clinton said recently that "Trump created conditions for violence at his events". I'm sure any good liberal would support that...right?
Too bad it is so close to "the girl in the tube top and shorts was asking to be raped".
God I hate hypocrites.
Liars are worse than hypocrites.
Idiotic and not in the very least a childish statement.
FYI a hypocrite is a liar.
But a liar does not have to be a hypocrite so even that logic of a 5 year old that you manage to display does not agree with you.
Case in point:
Person a states "I am for peace, love and tolerance for one and other"
But the day before that she/he/it was at a trump rally punching trump supporters in the face making blood flow because they do not plan on voting for who she/he/it votes.
Then of course the amatuer liberal spin doctors come around to claim it "is not hate and intolerance if you express hate and violence towards trump supporters (and that will likely be "reasoned" with..) Much like how as we all know it is not racist if it is aimed at a white male or any other white person since as we all know they/We cannot experience racism"
Or something along those uneducated liberal lines.
It is really not that hard to comprehend. Claiming to support or be of the opinion that certain things need to be done in a certain way or anything like it and then yourself doing, acting and thinking and having done the exact opposite of what you claimed to be or support is , A: a lie , B: hypocritical.
And just because a hypocrite will always attempt to deny her/his/it's hypocrisy does not change any of it.

KKK Rallies are attacked less than Trump rallies.
Yeah, but Trump is a racist, you see?

moveon.org, La Raza, BLM and other Soros funded terror groups are not interested in attacking the KKK because they don't threaten their absolute control over the population. Trump is another matter, so the terrorist groups need to be used to shut him down. This clearly has nothing to do with racism or perceived racism.

What I meant, and it's quite clear in my posting, is the violence at these protests are coming from the left.
That doesn't mean the majority of the left. Obviously there's millions upon millions who stay home. But just like with Occupy Wall St and BLM, there's a violent element coming from the left not seen elsewhere.
And it's blatant.
Same thing with Islamic extremists, It's not the majority of Muslims, however it is coming from the Muslim community and it is a problem.

Oh come on. This is typical persecution complex. Christians have been doing it for years. Find yourself a platform, spew bile and intolerance then act persecuted when people have enough and kick off. I have not seen a simgle person in this thread come out in support of the violence. Rightly so but do stop thinking you have the moral high ground.
Yes people have the right to peaceably protest and that absolutely must be protected but when your using that right to have rally's full of bile and racism and bigotry don't be surprised when the targets of that sentiment descend on the rally.
Yes it's wrong, yes the perpetrators should absolutely be prosecuted (not mowed down with guns like "vermin" like it has been suggested) but don't pretend you are not deliberately trying to provoke that' kind of sentiment.
It's weird conservative Christians and trump suporters deploy such similar tactics you would almost thing they are one and the same.....

I have not seen you exhibit any double standards.
I should have directed my questions better.
That said, there is no doubt that such things occur.
Anyone that has been on ATS for a while and participated in any of the "posse comitatus" threads knows what I am talking about.
I was trying to point out the hypocrisy in the whole "one bad apple spoils the bunch" approach when it comes to police officers, but not applying the same concept to Trump protesters.
More often than not, I see this behavior applied by those that would land on the left side of the political spectrum.
I apologize if I came across as accusatory against you. It wasn't my intention.

So you would agree that if it's a uniquely conservative phenomenon to do something like shoot up a Planned Parenthood clinic or blow up a federal building Oklahoma, it's fair for everyone to simply describe this as violence that comes from "The Right"?

Sort of....
It is always the conservative side of a political spectrum, but they are so vastly different from country to country, so.....
In Islamic countries it is their right wing who are terrorists, while the left is our secular allies.
But I'm not 100% sure you can blame every right wing for the actions of any right wing...
IMHO it's prob more of an issue or progress vs regression and that the world was a pretty horrible place in the past.
The left wants progress the right wants a return to the past.

Very few people in the world, left or right, want to regress.
The differences of opinion come from what one defines as progress. For example, a ever expanding welfare state is seen as progress by some, but it's seen as a regression to failed systems of the past by others. Securing borders is seen as isolationist and regressive by some but seen as progress in the fight against terrorism by others.
Neither the right or the left of political spectrum have a monopoly on 'progression'.
