Is this really worthy of a thread? I mean, c'mon it is hardly a threat.
Yes, I do and yes, it is. This wasn't barroom boasting, this was a leading Democratic operative talking on national television about his desire to beat the snot out of the Secretary of Defense.
As nuts as the Left is, threats are a short skip from actual violence.
Ask those who felt the Bolshevik heel.
What if Ann Coulter had said it ?
I don't see this as a threat either. But it was certainly ill-advised. It may help his stock with his fellow dems, but not reasonable people. Hopefully, it will motivate him to take stock of his beliefs and how they play out.
If you think it isn't; why don't you walk away and not waste your time by acting as some sort of thread police?
The liberals are having a tough time dealing with conservative opposition. By calling the liberals on their lies and their uncivilized "intolerant" pronouncements to which they never have answers or credible arguments to advance. You can call it a FRee service to the sheeple.
If we follow your recommendation we'll only leave the arena to the good ol liberal control, i.e., to the liberal propagation of unopposed lies which will become truths by default.
