ottopilot, you clearly don't understand the difference and I don't feel the need to point it out to you.
However, I do feel the need to ask you to stop twisting my words. If you need a clarification on something, just ask.
Or maybe you're just being ironic. I'm not sure what's worse. More lately I've become weary of irony. I think it's a hangover from postmodernism.
Can you do us both a favour and just say what you mean?

Radical liberals don't tend to use guns; they use placards, blogs, word processors, and publishing companies.
You seem to forget that one of the tenets of liberalism is a non-revolutionary, non-violent approach to change. Once you've suspended your support for human rights and tolerance, you've suspended your support for liberalism.
Maybe Lee was a liberal at one time, but he appears to have walked away from that.

I will not be ashamed of my disdain for violence, whether overt or implied. I will not be ashamed for voicing my opinions regarding this matter.
What would you rather me do? This thread isn't a vigil for Giffords. If you want one, make one.
