Along the lines of this recommended diary, here is a prime example of the violent rhetoric to be found on right-wing blogs:

RedState: At what point to people revolt?

At What Point Do People Revolt?

At some point, one more piece of straw does break the camel's back, even if that piece is, in and of itself, insignificant

At what point do the people tell the politicians to go to hell? At what point do they get off the couch, march down to their state legislator’s house, pull him outside, and beat him to a bloody pulp for being an idiot?

At some point soon, it will happen. It’ll be over an innocuous issue. But the rage is building. It’s not a partisan issue. There is bipartisan angst at out of control government made worse by dumb bans like this and unintended consequences like AIG’s bonus problems.

If the GOP plays its cards right, it will have a winning issue in 2010. But it is going to have to get back to “leave me the hell alone” style federalism where the national government recedes and the people themselves will have to fight to take their states back from special interests out of touch with body politic as a whole.

Were I in Washington State, I’d be cleaning my gun right about now waiting to protect my property from the coming riots or the government apparatchiks coming to enforce nonsensical legislation.

Plays its cards right - what exactly is that supposed to mean?

Is this type of talk responsible given events in the news over the past several weeks?

Would it shock you to know that the angry venting above was in response to the State of Washington prohibiting...phosphates in dishwasher detergent?

Someone needs to seriously sit down and regain some freakin' perspective.

Meanwhile, dailykos is being directly attacked on the front page of RedState right now. Apparently:

Kos Kids turning a tragedy into a chance for one-liners. Sadly, though, this is only the latest in a long series of such commentary by Markos and his legions of like-minded liberal ghouls.

Ghoul? Look who's talking, I say.

When does it go too far for RedState? Have they no decency - ever?
