http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2012/03/13/Chris%20Rock%20Attacks%20Conservative%20Author%20Over%20Tea%20Party%20Question“Chris Rock shouted, ‘You want to throw down? Let’s throw down right now!’ Of course, he was standing safely behind two bodyguards when he said it.”
The clash was ignited when Jason Mattera inquired about disparaging comments Chris Rock made about the Tea Party in an Esquire article in 2011:
When I see the Tea Party and all this stuff, it actually feels like racism's almost over. Because this is the last — this is the act up before the sleep. They're going crazy. They're insane. You want to get rid of them — and the next thing you know, they're damned knocked out. And that's what's going on in the country right now.
Jason Mattera says his confrontation with Chris Rock is just the opening salvo in a series of forthcoming ambush celebrity interviews with some of the big name stars he chronicles in Hollywood Hypocrites.
“Hollywood celebrities preach to us to vote for Barack Obama and his leftist policies, yet not even they live by the values Obama and the progressive left stand for,” said Mattera. “If conservatives and Republicans are going to win in 2012, we must muzzle Obama’s backers. And that starts with a full-scale investigation of the positions they take and the lives they actually lead.”

Yes, BC.
It is entirely honest and fair to conclude that "Liberals get violent..." based on one person's reaction to what this loser calls an "ambush interview."
If you are going to generalize, why not base it on race: "Black people get violent when challenged"? It's just as valid. Or you could broad-brush all comedians instead.

Hollywood is a deeply insular, culturally isolated and adversarial artist colony of artistic elites and bohemian intellectuals who's intense hostility to the mainstream of the culture surrounding them is difficult to fathom.
Chris Rock is just another moral and intellectual nonentity who's money, success, fame, and intense need of the social approval of his peers has gone to his head and displaced the original contents.
His violent response (Common among contemporary media elites, especially in the mainstream news media, where the "hate speech" routinely associated (with little empirical basis and a great deal of word gaming) with conservatives is actually de rigeur and accepted without comment as an appropriate response to conservative ideas or criticisms of the Left) is to be expected.
Leftists like Rock have no rational, coherent belief system to argue for, nor any critically serious arguments to put forth for those things they do believe, most of which is primarily emotion/feeling based.
Rock doesn't have the slightest idea what the Tea Party really believes, nor, like most of the Hollywood glitterati, does he care to know. To be invited to the right parties, to be praised, vetted, and bathed in the saliva of the right people, the right critics, and the right producers, and indeed, to work in Hollywood at all, he's got to wade everywhere he goes chin deep in PC.
Given some of the race based humor I've heard Rock dish out (that a white comedian would be burnt alive for), I'm not at all sure Rock is what one would call "colorblind." Nor do I think he's free of the black power ideology that infects other black actors and artists such as Samuel L. Jackson, Spike Lee, John Singleton, and Stalinist Danny Glover.
The anger is just a sign that he doesn't know what he's talking about and, at some level, knows it.

No, its just one of the defining features of the Left, and has been for two centuries. Other examples abound on the modern American Left.
The old Air America Radio daily line-up was basically a single, continuing expression of anger, hatred, bigotry, and violent hostility to anything and everything non-leftist. As one conservative put it at the time, Air America Radio was "All hate, all the time."
Kind of like Keith Olbermann, who is kind of like Chris Matthews, who is kind of like Bill Maher, who is kind of like Chris Rock, who is kind of like Madonna, who is kind of like Megan Fox, who is kind of like Andrei Codrescu, who is kind of like Howard Dean, who is kind of like Alec Baldwin, who is kind of like Craig Kilborn, who is kind of like Alexander Cockburn, who is kind of like Paul Begala, who is kind of like Sarah Bernhard, who is kind of like Janeane Garofalo, who is kind of like (the admittedly deranged) Sean Penn, who is kind of like...
This could go on for days.

I notice Amy Goodman isn't on you're list. She's been on the receiving end of actual brutal violence many times.
This isn't resulting to violence. Its nothing more than foolish grunting and posturing. Also, Chris Rock is supposed to represent the leftists somehow? I'm card carrying pinko scum and I don't much care for the guy. I just don't think he's funny at all.

You do realize that Noam Chomsky is both a leftist and one of the most brilliant people on the planet, don't you? He hardly lacks coherency. Seriously.... You need a lesson on rhetorical arguments and what kind of person it is that pathos most appeals too.

K&J,
Droopy has replaced reality with his own paradigm. If you don't deal with it and instead argue for the old paradigm, known as reality you're a New Left leftist who has suckled from the teat of Bill Ayers and Saul Alinsky since 1968. You don't know it buy you're one leftist whisper from being duped into moving to the mountains of Cuba and becoming a totally radicalized socialist guerrilla in training to overthrow the United States of America with the full support of China, Cuba, and the Mayan Planet X. Close your ears and protect yourself from fellow travelers, pinkos, socialists, and everyone else in the Communist conspiracy aimed at putting the final nail in the coffin of the pure libertarian free market utopia that we all know we want.

Liberal violence related to the OP also includes violating the free speech of others or forcefully "re-educating" them.

"Occupy" crackdowns. I guess a cop pepper spraying kids "sitting in" is free speech?
