    Yes, it's a bias. But I don't think you'll see the crazy loons at the Trump Rallies burning flags, smashing windows, and looting stores.

      All those business owners who had their businesses destroyed, buildings burned down, windows shattered, goods carried out, unable to pay their help ----- I'm sure they're comforted by that thought.

      Sheeeesh! "but, hey, people, those nutty Republicans are scarier!" WHAT are you people drinking?

          Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a t-shirt before that's made me want to punch its wearer...

          Stupid, unAmerican, hateful, ignorant tools.

          If I was part of a group that gave shelter to opinions like that, I'd leave.

                  Time to make that stark comparison again...

                  And the Dayton shooter last Summer was also a fanboi of Sanders as well as Warren. And in spite of desperate attempts to link the El Paso shooter to Trump he was a leftist as well.

                  While one needs to twist things into a pretzel in order to blame Trump to any act of violence the left always remains as quiet as a church mouse about all the violence that can be directly linked to liberals and their virulent rhetoric.

                  Let's start with James Hodgkinson who actually very specifically targeted Republicans[1] before opening fire on them as they practiced for the annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity. This left wing activist, MSNBC News junkie (notorious for the vitriol directed at Republicans and conservatives) and Bernie Sanders campaign worker who frequently expressed his hatred toward Republicans online, critically wounded House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana)[2] as well as wounding four others.

                  Then there is Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) who was attacked from behind in his backyard resulting in five rib fractures including 3 displaced fractures as well as lung contusions as he was mowing his lawn by Rene Boucher, a neighbor and supporter of the far-left Occupy movement and who's Facebook account is full of anti-Trump rants[3].

                  The MSM worked overtime pushing the attackers story that this was all about a property dispute but neighbors of both men (Boucher did not even live next door to Paul) and the neighborhood homeowners association quickly debunked that.

                  Then there is Rep. David Kustoff (Tennessee) who was nearly run off the road by a stalker, Wendi Wright, who was angry about his vote to repeal and replace Obamacare. She then confronted him when he pulled over screaming, striking the windows on Kustoff's car and even reaching inside the vehicle before finally leaving. She was later arrested after boasting of the confrontation on Facebook and charged with felony reckless endangerment.

                  Then there is Rudy Peters, who while running against Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-California) in 2018, who was assaulted by a knife-wielding attacker near a vendor's booth at the Castro Valley Fall Festival after the attacker began screaming profanity-laced remarks about the Republican party and Trump and repeatedly shouting "I'll kill you" as he attacked. Fortunately Ford was able to fend of the attacker using one of his election signs. The attacker, Farzad Fazeli, ran off but was later arrested and charged with felony assault, making criminal threats and brandishing a weapon.

                  Then there is Kristin Davison the campaign manager for Nevada GOP gubernatorial candidate Adam Laxalt who was roughed up by an operative for American Bridge 21st Century, funded by liberal billionaire George Soros, leaving her bruised.

                  Then, up in Minnesota, two Republicans were physically assaulted by assailants who were angry about their politics. State Rep. Sarah Anderson was punched when she confronted a man kicking down several of her yard signs and Minnesota House District 15b candidate Shane Mekeland was attacked during a campaign event after the assailant accused Republicans of abandoning the middle class. That attack left him with a concussion.

                  Then in Massachusetts there was Shiva Ayyadurai who was running for Senate against Elizabeth Warren and got punched by one of her supporters.

                  ."

                  And not too long ago Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who was Hillary's running mate, was on MSNBC's Morning Joe telling co-host Mika Brzezinski that Democrats needed to "fight in the streets" in order to combat the Trump Administration.

                  Apparently that is exactly what Kaine's youngest son "Woody" does as a member of Antifa and who was arrested in Minnesota for taking part in an attack on a pro-Trump rally at the state capitol resulting in the injury of a female Trump supporter and later charged with three misdemeanors. Other charges were dismissed and he made a plea deal resulting in his being sentenced to a year of probation and ordered to pay $236 fine (never hurts to have a powerful politically connected daddy).

                  [ATTACH=CONFIG]45994[/ATTACH]

                  Of course aggressive rhetoric of this sort is nothing new and Trump is hardly the first president to employ some. The last occupant of the White House, Barrack Obama was known to employ more than his share of it, saying things like:
                  • "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun."
                  • "argue with your neighbors. Get in their face."
                  • "Punch back twice as hard."



                  Finally stories about people wearing MAGA hats being physically assaulted have become so common that they barely make the news these days. Heck, even when a man tries to mow down six Trump supporters with his van while they were inside a Republican Party voter registration tent in Jacksonville, Florida this past February, it was ignored by the big three network news shows.

                  I can not help but be reminded of Jesus' words in Matthew 7:4-5 whenever those on the left or Never Trumpers start trying to play Six Degrees of Separation in their desperate attempts to link Trump with any and every act of violence while their own hands are red with blood.












                  1. Before the shooting he asked if those out on the field were Republicans or Democrats

                  2. He was in critical condition for several days as a result of the shooting and was hospitalized for 6 weeks

                        That is stupid, and hateful. If you abuse another person, they may well lash out at you, hit you. If you abuse them enough, they might even try to kill you.

                        The truth is that given the right provocation, vile or hostile actions are in all of us.

                        What you fail to understand, or even try to understand. Is the centuries of racially motivated provocation that have created the situation where black people on average live significantly more difficult lives in the us than white people. Wage disparity, higher crime, segregated housing ( caused by the differential in earnings ). It all adds up. A culture that perpetuates the divide and white people such as many of those posting here that refuse to take responsibility for helping change it, who demand things stay as they are. Who are unwilling to even consider if they are part of a system that keeps these disparities in place. Or which even increases them.

                          As trump tries to pretend it isnt happening, as misinformation flourishes on the internet about social distancing and mask wearing in conservative circles - making things even worse. It's as if by supporting Trump, conservatives have infected themselves with his same ignorance and sent this country on a one way trip to death and sickness in our communities. Blinded by their hatred of 'liberals' to the point they reject any and all knowledge that might be embraced by a liberal source, they have condemned themselves and all of us to this shared fate.

                                You must have forgotten that Obama tweeted LAW & ORDER several times during those random uprisings, which effectively reigned in the chaos.
