TDS-Democrats and violence
A growing number of House Republicans are facing physical threats from angry constituents in their districts, leading many to fear for their safety.
In the last few weeks alone, the FBI arrested a man threatening Rep. Martha McSally's (Ariz.) life; a woman pursued Rep. David Kustoff (Tenn.) with her car, and Rep. Thomas Garrett (Va.) heightened security at a recent town hall in response to death threats.

Seems like the thread title should be "Angry republicans threatening their US House representatives" ?

Republican voters are mad at Donald Trump and Republicans. Independents are also mad and angry as well.
The news article does not say who these people voted for. There are wack jobs on both sides that will do such things. There are Pro-lifer terrorist groups that want to target assassination of anybody who are for any kind of abortions. That includes against moderate Republicans who are pro-choice in a sense.

Sound like a justification. Pathetic.

The odds are that these people are outside agitators who don't even live in the district.

RE: TDS-Democrats and violence
The American people know who the real hate filled and lawless people are. It isn't the conservatives or Republicans. The fact the leaders of the Democrat party are not only being silent during these attacks, but actually encouraging them, will just drive more voters away from the Dems. They are so consumed with their hate, they can't see what the end result of these attacks will be in the polls.

The odds are that they are republican voters who are pissed off for one reason or another.

So that ultra-conservative guy on this board, who keeps threatening to stab people with his bayonet, doesn't count?

One of the things noteworthy on that thread I posted about Rush and Ailes and Nixon. In the Nixon roundtable, he condemned the people being disrespectful to his opponent. He said dissent was good, but what they were doing went beyond that and was disrespectful to the man who was V-P of the USA, Hubert Humphrey.
Can you imagine any Democrat condemning anything short of murder of a Republican? Obama could put an end to this violence overnight. But he likes it.
As for Hillary, she hired people to incite violence.

RE: TDS-Democrats and violence
It's the double standard the MSM has for conservatives v liberals.
If a crazy conservative does something terrible the conservative leadership is automatically to blame for creating an environment of hatred
If a looney leftist does something, well than that's just another day in Berkeley. Chuck Schumer is not asked the same question over and over and is not painted as the root cause

The thing is, you want this to be true. Even though it's made up, you want it to be true.
Why is that? Can you explain that??

Umm, you want it not to be true.
On the basis of what facts can you conclude that it is not true?

It is not true, until proven true. That's how that works

Well, that's what we thought until...
Chris Cuomo Demands GOP Congressman Prove There Is No Evidence of Trump-Russia Collusion
Quote:CNN host Chris Cuomo and Rep. Sean Duffy (R., Wis.) had an unusual exchange Friday morning on "New Day," as Cuomo repeatedly demanded Duffy prove a negative; in this case, give evidence of his statement that there is "no evidence" of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign.

I don't care what some television entertainer said, in an attempt to earn ratings and clicks for his employer. That proves nothing.
