    no. i just think that they shouldn't be surprised if someone tries. it sucks when someone gets gored by a bull, but you should also expect that to happen if you jump into the ring wearing red

    Well ....

    First of all .... Steve Scalise survived the shooting.

    And, Hodgkinson was a Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer who was spouting the same hateful rhetoric as Bernie Sanders.

    Clearly he was a Leftist targeting Republicans.

    But real stats of life expectancy, probability of not reaching 60, quality of health care mean something.
    And they beat us on all counts.
    So, maybe insurance does mean something, of course, its the quality of the insurance as well.

    Legacy/Left Media ushered this off the front page in record time.

    the same Legacy/Left Media that inundated the airwaves with Zimmerman/Trayvon for over a year...

    that covered Todd Akin's abortion remark for three solid weeks...

    that covered Limbaugh's 'slut' comment for a month...

    that still blames Sarah Palin for the Gabby Giffords shooting ...

    that tried to blame the Tea Party for the theater shooting in Aurora Colorado.

    So someone having a different political view than you makes killing them okay.

    No. There's a huge difference between thinking someone should have seen it coming and thinking that murder is acceptable . I hate these people because I regard them as murderers, I don't advocate stopping to their level

    This thread doesn't even warrant a response because it's not remembering the event honorably but instead using 1 guy as a blanket statement generalization about liberals. Credability? No where to be found. Welcome to the no credability zone it's like the friend zone except more disappointing.

    How does one remember leftist political violence "honorably".

    There is nothing honorable about what James Hodgkinson did.

    However, it is important to remember this violence on the one year anniversary because it will happen again as the Country moves away from the Democrat agenda.

    Do you think you might be over-generalizing just a wee bit? How many shootings in the last ten years have there been involving a Dem shooting a Repub?

    Hodgkinson also had a hit list in his pocket.

    I think a more accurate question would be how many violent incidents were politically motivated by US politics.

    Oh ok let's not acknowledge the people who stopped the shooter and the fact that scalise survived.

    I can use Trump cult tactics as well ready?

    Let us pray for the poor soul who lost her life when the Trump supporting white supremacists and the alt right ideaology murdered a poor woman with their car. This violence will only get worse under the reign of a hate mongering alt right.

    Hatred and ignorance go hand in hand.

    It would have changed nothing because replacements would have been picked by Republican governors. So it really is just wishing Republicans are murdered that you posted, while denying this in the same message.

    My question was more than accurate enough. I believe the answer is one, right?

    I did mention Scalise survived.

    And, please feel free to mention the heroes who put this Leftist down.

    Have you started any threads on the anniversary of the school shootings? If not why not? Will you?

    I would say numerous.

    I would include all the LEO's shot by Black Lies Matter supporters.

    I would include the Johnathon Oddi shooter.

    I would also include Stephen Paddock.

    I am sure there are others if I were to do a little more research.

    Yeah, violence doesn't lead to any long term change, and it's hypocritical to solve this with violence anyway

    So all of the LEO's who were shot were Republican?
    All those people Stephen Paddock shot were Republican?
    Oddi got into a firefight with police, right? Were all those officers Republicans?
