This is very disturbing. The left has incited its followers to violence. We are quickly losing our capacity, in this country, to debate and disagree civilly. This is the legacy of the left - don't like the message? Shut down the messenger.
I blame the increasingly antagonistoc rhetoric of the left for the growing polarization of this nation. Many of us hate to consider the prospect of another civil war in this country, but the growing violence of the left is raising that potential. Somewhere, I can't help but envision Terry McAuliffe and John Kerry high-fiving each other over this.
This is serious and the future of our Republic is in serious jeopardy if it continues.
I agree. But I also must add that the media is as complicit in this hatred and vitriol as anybody. Instead of the marginilazation they gave to the "Clinton-haters"....as they even named them such, they give legitimacy to the claims against Bush, as they praise the M. Moore's of the world and engage in similar conspiracies and lies.
In fact, the very acts we've seen by CBS with the forgeries and the Draft make them direct participants in this vitriol as they perpetuate a "by any means necessary" theme that emboldens others.
Where they saw a "vast right-wing conspiracy" when it came to Clinton...they see normallacy when it comes to this hatred for Bush. I'm amazed at the division these people have created as they pretend to be the tolerant, peace-loving party.
