>>4. And, ironically, it has rarely been the case that conservatives or Republicans or other authoritarian political figures have been the targets of actual violence. While such incidents are not unknown, mostly it has been liberals and Democrats in the cross hairs actually experiencing threats and even getting injured or killed, from FDR through JFK and Martin Luther King to Rep. Giffords.<<

Exactly- thought the same thing as I read. And I can’t forget all the Lefty crazies salivating over the Bush assassination film...

Lincoln was no conservative.

MLK was a Republican, not a Democrat.

Or that the assassin who shot JFK was a COMMUNIST?

Probably the Left is eager to label James Earl Ray a "right winger." But afaik the politics in that situation were very murky.
