I believe it is us who have had our stuff stolen, our offices broken into, been beaten, shot at, actually shot, stabbed and murdered in cold blood.

What is that if not Real Violence?

Right... all these Republicans with caller ID just waiting eagerly to answer a poll conducted by an insane group like PRRI.
