Being a major reporter, not liberal per se, pretty much guarantees a nonstop deluge of threatening hatemail from unhinged conservatives. If you are minority, it's gonna be hella racist too. Heck, opening up the comments section of major news websites shows that. You know Ajax is aware on some level that this goes on, because he happily posted on a major white supremacist website where people proudly talk about doing such things.

That list is a joke in how all over the place it is in calling things "leftwing violence," with examples that aren't violent, leftwing, or accurately represented. But even if each example was what it purported to be, it would be a terrible account of the overall thrust of violent rhetoric and acts in America. If it didn't suck, it would be cherry-picking, in other words.

What's especially rich is that numerous, arguably all, of the examples are not as bad as what the President himself and members of his admin has done, yet you see a theme of "still has a job" repeated over and over. I don't know. Maybe take that lament seriously?

Is this legit?


Do you have evidence it's not. Seems legit to me.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Never believe that anti‐Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.

How do you think Peter Fonda's Twitter threat that someone ought to treat Barron Trump with the same kind of abusive contempt the Trump admin treats immigrant children compares, on the awful violence scale, to actually detaining and abusing children?

When a person of prominent profile, followed by the left wing media, comes out with such vulgar and threatening statements on a child - that is VIOLENCE.

Get a clue Themis. Quit your equally disgusting dodging of facts and truth.

Not that Ceeboo would read this:

There are fairly comprehensive lists cataloguing real violence committed by right-wing types easily found using Google. The list provided by Ajax is, well, unsurprising.
