How much does right-wing rhetoric contribute to right-wing terrorism?

Yesterday, a man and a woman shot two police officers in a Las Vegas restaurant after saying, “this is a revolution.” Then they draped their bodies in a Gadsden flag. According to reports now coming in, the couple (who later killed themselves) appear to have been white supremacists and told neighbors they had gone to join the protests in support of anti-government rancher Cliven Bundy. It was one more incident of right-wing terrorism that, while not exactly an epidemic, has become enough of a trend to raise some troubling questions.

What I’m about to say will raise some hackles, but we need to talk about it. It’s long past time for prominent conservatives and Republicans to do some introspection and ask whether they’re contributing to outbreaks of right-wing violence. --snip--

And I promise you, these murders in Nevada will not be the last. It may be going too far to say that conservative politicians and media figures whose rhetoric has fed the deranged fantasies of terrorists and killers have blood on their hands. But they shouldn’t have a clear conscience, either.

"Has anyone ever done a study about who commits more violent crimes, Republicans or Democrats?"

I would ask, who is it that fuels the narcotics industry..? Liberals or conservatives..??

All those deaths....all those poor childrens fathers who died in the drug wars...those poor families...

Who the hells fault is that..!!?

I guess the "Progressives" don't want to ask THAT question do they...?

And WHAT, pray tell, are those “right-wing” terrorist attacks? Name them. Then name the lefties that have committed terrorist attacks. There IS a difference, dude.

We knew this was coming. Just have to see what steps the regime will use to ensure this crisis doesn't go to waste.

BTW,there's a fair chance that the meth these losers rotted their brains with was supplied by the same Mexican cartel that soetoro and holder supplied with guns.
