There was NO violent rhetoric that has not been said by politicians of all stripes, CEO's or other business managers, sports managers or other athletes, or anybody else that is in some form of competition.
This whole premise is false, and stupid I might add.

So, you think what exactly?
Do you think that it is never okay to express the fact that you believe revolution may be necessary?
Tell me, I am curious? Do you think that Loughner is a revolutionary, encouraged by the likes of Beck?
If so, why?
While you are at it, tell me what the limits of free speech should be, and exactly WHEN a group of people can begin to talk of revolution.
Don't be afraid.

Well, when you have some time, you can elaborate on the beliefs of a "moderate". How does the moderate feel about the federal reserve? Or gun rights? Or the powers of the executive branch? Or the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan?

Oh, so now, it is all about Sharon Angle, and the rest of your post means nothing, right?
Coward?
You say the right-wingers like Beck (who I abhor by the way but that is not the point) are spewing MORE hate than Michael Moore or Pelosi,
but you bring nothing but your opinion that there is any HATE at all. You sound like an NPR news brief.
If you re-read my post you will note that the remark is made by AOL News contributor Michael Arceneaux. I made 2 brief comments beneath it. Words such as "suggest" and " may " do not indicate taking sides.

You DO know what DailyKos is, right? You DO know that they had a similar BULLSEYE target on Giffords, don't you?
She is a conservative, so she is an "enemy" of the left, and she is a Democrat, an "enemy" of the so-called right.
Get a grip people, it is politics, blood sport. Stop blaming the Cowboys when a Redskin is carted off of the field. If you don't like it, help change it, but don't pretend one side is better than the other in the game of politics.

But one side is better than the other in the game of politics! They are called moderates.

Doesn't that depend on what moderates do?
I'm not casting aspersion on you with this, so bear with me here:
2. I posit that the only real moderates are members like Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich who, despite my misgivings to Mr. Kucinich for being a lefty, are both obviously taking their oaths seriously.
