    They should be known by the company they keep.

    He actually said to target these Trump supporters in San Antonio, the same state El Paso is in. Let's see, what could he possibly mean when he says to target Trump supporters by releasing their names and addresses?

    Nonsense

    When you release the names and addresses of trump donors and accuse them of sharing the blame for the mass shooting in El Paso you are making them targets for leftwing lunatics

    I fear the seeds of civil war are being planted. The Right believes the Left is trying make America’s future a Socialist hell, another Venezuela; the Left believes the Right is trying to turn America into a Fascist nightmare, another Nazi Germany. Both are right. And like two gangs fighting over who will control the territory, they are arming themselves.

    The answer to this madness is to think.

    “The recognition of individual rights entails the banishment of physical force from human relationships: basically, rights can be violated only by means of force. In a capitalist society, no man or group may initiate the use of physical force against others. The only function of the government, in such a society, is the task of protecting man’s rights, i.e., the task of protecting him from physical force; the government acts as the agent of man’s right of self-defense, and may use force only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use; thus the government is the means of placing the retaliatory use of force under objective control.”—http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/capitalism.html

    It’s time to rediscover the principle of Individual Rights. It’s time to end the war of Identity Politics. It’s time to use our reason and think. Before the line of no return is crossed.

    Are you saying they are not proud to be recognized as Trump donors? That there is something wrong with being one? Shouldn't they be taking out ads themselves out of pride for their support? Putting their names on a tombstone is over the top, no wait, that was Moscow Mitch that did that and they really shouldn't have said to use a little 2nd amendment on them, ooopps, that was Trump.

    No, this is a list for boycotters and perhaps some picketers.

    When the weeds are full of crazy leftwingers what castro did was an invitation to violence

    But lets say all the libs do is picket their house or follow their children and harass them

    Is that what America has descended to?

    I hope not

    How do you know what reason I want it known for?

    Violence and intimidation are bad but telling someone you've just given lots of money to Trump so they can stop doing business with them (like the owner of Home Depot) is neither violence nor intimidation. You cons are always acting as if boycotts should be illegal and we should all be obligated to deal with your favorites whether we want to or not

    Your sort would have all political contributions done by shadowy anonymous groups. The Klan and the Nazis would have no oversight or regulation. (but you''d probably figure some way to arrest anyone from the AFL/CIO who dared "harass" anyone by contributing to their opponents)

    If you don't want people to harass certain pols you might tell those pols not to harass certain people. People get MAD when some nimnul attacks them even if they HAVE done something, even more when they haven't . Your politics can actually have consequences, go figure.

    “Beto (phony name to indicate Hispanic heritage) O’Rourke, who is embarrassed by my last visit to the Great State of Texas, where I trounced him, and is now even more embarrassed by polling at 1% in the Democrat Primary, should respect the victims & law enforcement - & be quiet!”

    Of course it is not, but it is a list to boycott Trump donors: good stuff.

    Beto counter punched Trump for his anti-Beto attacks, the punches landing in the middle of Trump fund raising.

    Of course the Trump supporters are unhappy, because they know much more is coming from the Dems.

    There are still a lot of people on the Right -- perhaps not the kind of people who post on forums, just ordinary Republican voters -- who still think that the Left is like their nice neighbor who votes Democratic, or their squishy Episcopalian pastor who sometimes gives a sermon on social justice and how Jesus loved gays, or their shop steward who passes on the union leadership's voting recommendations. And they're right -- a lot of the Democratic voting base are ordinary decent people who just think Medicare should be available to all, who have the natural reaction of any decent person to pictures of frightened children at the border.

    But they're not the ones who are determining the direction of motion of the Democratic Party. A generation of academic indoctrination has groomed the new generation of Leftist opinion-leaders into a Manichaean view of American politics, and has begun to influence the leadership of the Democratic Party.

    We've got to get over the natural inclination to take a snapshot of reality as it is at the moment and to then to project it forward linearly into the future. We've got to take account of the direction of motion, and the logic of the fundamental beliefs of our opponents.

    In the eyes of their most ardent thinkers, we are deplorables, fascists, racists ... sub-human scum who must be utterly crushed, denied a voice on social media, fired from our jobs, opened up to the physical harrassment of the less stable of their followers.

    We're not living in America any more. We're living in the Weimar Republic. Time to start thinking seriously about the future.

    Liberal wackos need to know their home address in order to boycott them?

    Of course not

    You want the crazies to psrk on their doorstep

    And maybe follow their kids to school

    And if one or two are killed what do you care?

    This is not America

    You want to live in Nazi Germany

    Most democrats are no worse than republicans

    But the exceptions are really sick puppies

    Now the left is ready for war but they want to blame it on conservatives

    Hey, releasing the names of big donors is a necessary part of our system and has been since the beginning. I'll go along with making it a request only thing so anybody with nefarious ends will know he's being known but that's about it

    You cons seem AWFULLY anxious to fundamentally revise our system Democracy just irritates the crap out of you doesn't it?

    Castro released the names and addresses of all the trump donors in his district

    The addresses are only necessary for harassment and intimidation
