Suppose leftists started showing up with assault weapons at Republican rallies. And suppose we sent a bunch of our black brothers to camp out outside Boehner's office wearing tee shirts reading "We've come unarmed -- this time." And suppose Dennis Kucinich started going on tv saying that if we don't get serious with health care reform, it will be time for 2nd amendment solutions. And suppose Bernie Sanders goes on the radio and says that the take over of our country by corporations and the wealthy means its time to water the tree of freedom with the blood of tyrants.
And suppose a climate change denier gets shot. And an anti-abortion activist gets shot. And a Republican congressperson gets shot.
Maybe then the mainstream media heads will be correct when they say, "Well, of course, we have extremists on both sides."
