calling the left "violent" (they know we're not, which is why they have wet dreams about getting into a civil war with us -- they know we are not armed and that we by and large abhor violence; they figure it'll be like target practice).

Keep an eye on acts of random violence on low profile individuals coming up in the next couple of days. They need to crank up the intimidation factor before the midterms.
