This is my point. Its clearly the left that is driving things to a violent conclusion.
The view of most liberals I know (family members, friends, relatives) and of those I read on lib websites is that conservatives are the crazy people.
That is not the conclusion I come to after reading most of the literature and hearing most of the words from both sides.
Far right nut militarist and race groups notwithstanding, the left side definitely has the decided edge on lunatic members. They're the ones who are convinced that since they have a lock on the truth, everybody else i.e. conservative Republicans, have no right to speak or even exist.
Hodgkinson is the logical result of many decades of hate focused on conservative Americans by the media and liberal pols.
