Actually there have been leftist organizations willing and able and successful in committing murder, but most of them died out in the 1970's. They didn't find purchase in a self-perpetuating culture as militia groups and assorted race-based hate groups have managed to do. I will agree that, currently, right-based political violence seems to be more likely at the present time, though. It's pretty well documented simply in the amount of death threats being received at the White House - not that all of them are serious, of course, but it belies an alarming amount of extreme psychological discomfort about the fact that we have not only a democrat, but a black democrat in the White House. It's disingenuous, though, to purport that all liberals are averse to violence. I have seen conversations right here at TFP where the idea of violent revolution was purported during the Bush presidency. And I remember being very disgusted by it.
As for the comment about 'men' acting like 'gigantic vaginas' - I find it interesting that:
1. women are being equated with cowards
and
2. men are being purported to be cowards (ie, women) if they don't have a gun they are willing to shoot someone with
and
3. fools expect anyone to take anything they say seriously when they say stupid shit like that
