The mainstream, corporate media plays the game of false balance similarly by claiming there are extremists and calls to violence on both sides, but the last time the American left (or center-left, as it were) engaged in anti-government violence was 40 years ago. There hasn't been left wing or center left violence in years, even from our most extremist organizations. This is not to say there's no anger on the center or left, there are, but... let me put it this way: who are the biggest 5-10 people on the right and left in the United States? Now, which of chose 10-20 people have used revolutionary, violent, or language otherwise relevant to the topic at hand? Notice how they're all on one side? Notice how it's BillO, Beck, Palin, Hannity, Boehner, Rush, Savage, McConnell and such, not Pelosi, Reed, Obama, Maddow, Olbermann, and their ilk? This is reality. There's no equal responsibility for the climate of fear and violence.
