Sickening.

But what else can you expect from those who are goaded into this by Tim Kaine who said to "fight Trump supporters in the streets" or Joe Biden who said he wished he could take Trump "behind the gym" or Madonna who said "I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House" or the numerous other celebrities like Jim Carrey, Kathy Griffin, Mickey Rourke, etc. who have openly expressed wishes to commit violence on Trump and his supporters.

No, what matters is that one time last year when Trump said a belligerent protester should be "roughed up". That's the REAL violent rhetoric.

I hate liberals as much as the next guy but don't act like Trump hasn't made similar comments about violence.

The only one really different from Trump's comment was Madonna's, but she's a fading celebrity that most people don't care about. Biden, Trump, and Kaine all made stupid comments about inflicting violence on people they don't like. You more or less padded your post.

The best refutation remains that the violence seen is generally isolated and not representative of the larger left wing, as noted by the scale of the Women's March. I pointed this out when people were conflating terrorist groups like ANTIFA with the larger left, ignoring that it was hundreds to the Women's Marches millions.

This bizarre and continued "muh violent left" rhetoric isn't going to pan out when millions peacefully protested this year. It exists, but it's very clear that you and other people on this forum try to blanket other leftists under it, and it's pretty annoying to watch you exploit victims for political brownie points to make up for your lake of debate skill.

Well if you want to bring this to a balance sheet I guarantee I will find more examples of public figures endorsing violence on Trump than you can find of public figures endorsing violence on Obama.

As for my debate skill, you probably shouldn't criticize that in the same post you build a strawman in. No one ever said every single leftist was violent.

thankfully the attacker didn't have a gun. amazing how less guns = more lives saved.

That is dumb. Being a Trump supporter in of itself isn't a bad thing. It's not a crime and you shouldn't be attacked for it.

I don't really care about it being a contest. I want to see the country improve. The fact that you seem to care about it being a contest - and dedicate a good bit of your time to contributing to the contest - is pretty sad.

No, just most. Like this guy:

One of these things is fictional, and the other is statements by real people calling on others to do violence.

Can you tell which is which?

Except that ANTIFA is what the left is. Mainstream left ideology neither refutes their rhetoric, not promotes opposition to it. If anything it outright promotes it.

who have openly expressed wishes to commit violence on Trump and his supporters.

remember when Ted Nugent (a poster boy for the NRA) said Obama should suck on his machine gun? were you outraged by that?

i know i'm not addressing your original point at all. i'm pointing out how inconsistent you are in your beliefs, unless it aligns with your partisan politics.

I'm pretty sure he was referencing his penis. Not an actual machine gun.

If I included every example from a public figure that even referenced violence in relation to Trump then the OP would be a many paragraphs long.

I don't get the point. Trump IS president

What does hearing up his supporters accomplish?

my entire point was that you aren't condemning the violence when it's spouted by someone on your side of the aisle. be consistent or you just look like a partisan hack

Yes I do, I condemn it whenever someone brings it up, but nobody ever defends violence from the right. Violence on the left however? Overwhelmingly encouraged by the left's public figures, and by several people on this very board. Which is probably why there are so many more examples of leftist violence on the right then vise-versa.

real quick, off the top of my head and from a couple of weeks ago: how many Republicans defended Gianforte after he literally assaulted a reporter?

i'll wait while you move the goalposts.

I can't recall any, unless you want to count people who said "let's wait for all the evidence", which isn't an endorsement of violence.

But I asked you to name some. So can you?

What's amusing about this topic is mal fet inventing a controversy that just doesn't exist. As if any sane person would look at this and think "hmm, maybe the guy deserved it?"

And yet here he is, trying to organise a serious debate about liberal mental health, as if what caused this is anything but the actions of one deranged asshole.

Is there a news article I can read about this instead of watching a video?

http://www.foxla.com/news/local-news/262816980-story

When I posted this story yesterday, the only sites covering it were Infowars and other right-wing sources.

And a day later, the likes of CNN, MSNBC, ABC, etc aren't covering it at all.
