This shooting is a product of the climate of hate created by the progressive left and the Democrats.

They have questioned the legitimacy of President Trump’s election from the moment it happened, plotting action against him (including but not limited to impeachment) from about 10 PM Eastern on November 8.

Left-wing educators have called for Trump’s assassination, and it is only after this shooting that the hypocrites at the Huffington Post pulled an article urging the same.

They have promoted and defended Kathy Griffin and the severed Trump head. they have supported and defended the “assassination” of Trump at Shakespeare in the Park. Madonna said she had given serious thought to blowing up the White House. Snoop dogg pointed a gun at a Trump head, done up like a clown.

Is it any wonder one of their little mind-numbed robots decided that the Republicans needed killing?

‘agitation on both sides’ - Turns my stomach when they say both sides are equally violent. Really?? Antifa and Ann Coulter folks? Really?? I don’t believe her supporters carried bike locks or wore masks.

A little late. They started attacking people at the rally in Chicago and haven’t stopped since.

forcing Levin to physically place himself between a Klansman and a furious, anti-fascist mob that seemed ready to kill.


Anti-fascist mob, what a joke!

If Vice is starting to say this coupled with what Pelosi said earlier, then you know there is a problem.

Violent left-wing extremists is not a new thing.

The left-wing has been using violent rhetoric and violent actions, since the beginning of the progressive movement.

It’s why we need to recognize the enemy and call it by it’s name, just like we do with the “Radical Islamic Terrorists”, and so, we should start calling the extremely violent left-wing what it really is, and that is: “Radical Left-Wing Terrorists”. I think everybody will recognize what is meant by that term, especially after witnessing what we’ve seen in the last 8 months or so.

....“I think we’re in a time when we can’t ignore the extremism from the Left,...

And so far, no one on the left has called for an end to the violence from that at Berkeley,
to professors calling for DJT death,
to professors asking for muscle needed,
To a professor hitting a Conservative with a bicycle lock, to riots in the street, to conservatives being pepper sprayed, to police being killed,
to Congressman being grievously wounded.
To loser Tim Kaine telling libs to take the fight to the streets.
There is too much to list.
It’s because the out of power leftist elite approves. It’s evil on the attack.

They’re “starting” to worry about the left?
A little late in the day to begin worrying, isn’t it?

Apparently the “Extremism Experts” missed the 20th Century if they’re just now starting to worry about the left.

“The embrace by the far left of tactics that were previously the purview of the far right...”

WTF?

Experts in homegrown extremism say it’s not so simple — Hodgkinson had no known association to any left-wing extremist group.

LOL! What about the Democrat Party?

Really. Just because the powers that be deliberately overlook the organized leftist thug groups doesn’t mean they don’t exist. BLM anybody? Oh, that’s a peaceful group, say the PTB.

They obviously can’t do the violence math.

Robert Creamer was the Democrat organizer for the leftist thug groups.
He was caught on tape admitting he organized the leftist thugs.

"... politically motivated violence perpetrated by angry lone-wolf attackers bearing automatic rifles, of the sort carried out in Wednesday’s attack, has until now largely been a modus operandi of the far right. "

Revisionist History Alert!

I was there. The professional agitors of the left wanted a riot, but we wouldn't give it to them.

Instead, they only got a unrurly disruption. Had they got their riot, Trump never would have been elected President.

“In the past 10 years when you look at murders committed by domestic extremists in the United States of all types, right-wing extremists are responsible for about 74 percent of those murders,” Pitcavage says.
