I'd be curious to see how many Democrats vs. Republicans are being targeted for violence. If not, it really should be tracked and published by the government. I suspect the results would be quite enlightening as to which Party is getting the threats.

4. Thanks Ian David!
I spent some time going through your links...pretty scary stuff. It doesn't take a political scientist to determine that the acts of violence are skewed so heavily in one direction, that there is no question which Party has an institutional predisposition towards guns and violence against their political opponents.

No surprise really...as they have no positive ideas on how to make this a better society, all they have are is a naked desire to control political power with any means necessary.

I've bookmarked for use on other boards where posters are trying to spread their apologistic meme of false equivalence. If all of these people are instable loners, why are they almost totally going after Democrats?
