Left’s growing violence will not end well

Andrew Bolt, Herald Sun
Well there you go.

What's being done about the violent Left?    nothing much it seems.

Over the last decade, 71% of domestic extremist related killings in the US were linked to right-wing extremists

Majority of 2017 extremist murders in US were committed by right-wingers: Report



And.....?

I know.

It's so hard to follow reasoned statements.

Consider your head patted, Kiid. Maybe Red will explain it to you. Or Bambi.

He made a point that the LEFT could soon become even more violent

That is true/untrue no matter what you claim of the right and if THAT is true/untrue.

Be good now.

It appears that you should be telling people with your views to "be good."

Also, Dems need to run more on issues -- health care, environment, education, corporate/financial regulation, worker pay, abortion rights -- where their positions are popular. 


I think Biden,  had he chosen to run then,  would have focused more on those core platform planks,  and also collective bargaining rights.   Identity politics shouldn't be divisive,  but it is -  too many grievance nurturing white voters turn into single issue voters when they think some other group is a threat to them.

She makes a lot of damn good points. It’s no wonder most of those who voted in 2016 wanted her to be President.

Defanging fascist billionaires is the project of the decade, starting with Mercers and Kochs.

About the Kochs...

https://www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/buzz/2018/09/13/koch-funded-group-supports-voting-rights-for-felons-in-florida/?link_id=33&can_id=07eacbbfede2c683c4563a3201f538b8&source=email-voting-rights-roundup-new-yorks-progressive-primary-wins-may-pave-the-way-to-expand-voting-rights&email_referrer=email_418365&email_subject=voting-rights-roundup-new-yorks-progressive-primary-wins-may-pave-the-way-to-expand-voting-rights

A group they fund is supporting the measure, Amendment 4 on the Florida ballot — the proposal to restore voting rights to most convicted felons without hearings or delays.

It's got a lot of folks scratching their heads, trying to figure out what they're missing.

I can't blame them.
I think it is you without both oars in the water.
The Koch Foundation has invested in lots of organizations and non-profits in fields of research, the arts, and education, like scholarships through the United NegroCollege Fund.
The support of voting rights for federal convicts only complements its pushing legislation to adjust federal sentencing guidelines and reduce prison populations.

He made the baseless claim.

Bambi lapped it up.

I could make an equally solid claim of "Donald Trump could soon be discovered to be Martian."

And your "what you claim of the right and if THAT is true/untrue" demonstrates your disconnect from reality.

Those are not *my* claims. They're the statistics.

TRUE.

Deal with it.

So, aggression from the left is not something to worry about?

OK.  Thanks, Josh

Racist sexist reactionary assholes should be worried about aggression from decent people of every political and religious orientation. That is how we keep civilization civilized.

The trump administration can’t vet. If they could vet, trump and pence would have to be removed. It is scumbags and criminality that are trickling down, not prosperity.

A population pool of approximately 2% committed 26% of the terrorist acts in the US. A very good reason to curtail immigration from certain violent areas. One of the things the Donald got right?

I have no idea where your stats come from,  how terrorist act is defined,  or two percent of what exactly.   But I'm going to go with "no, " anyway.   We are a nation largely composed of refugees from violent areas, either direct warfare or fascist repression or aristocratic brutalizing of peasants.   

Meanwhile,  Petri dishes out more biting humor....

I've got a Macro set for "no" in response to whenever Luee and Bambu post.  It saves time and thought.

When and where it occurs, it is a thing to worry about.

That's not the issue raised. The claim was that "The Left's growing violence will not end well," from a right wing pundit through a right wing stooge - Bambi.

There is no substantiation of the base claim of "the Left's growing violence." The Right's violence is statistically and visibly demonstrable - as are its apologists, like you.
