re: #368 Obdicut

Yes. But ‘conservative’ and ‘liberal’, being wholly artificial creations, neither recommend or are disinclined towards violence.

It is a no-brainer: those people advocating violence and using violent rhetoric, those people who think taking guns to political events is a-OK, are the ones fostering an atmosphere of violence. It doesn’t matter if they’re the Black Panthers (the real ones), the black-mask anarchists, or Tea Party idiots.

That’s all true. But the fact is, overwhelmingly, they are tea party idiots. There’s no equivalent to that movement either in tone or in scope in the US right now.
