Will... while I would agree that the protesters at the G8 and G20 events do not have a voice or media representation on the scale that a movement like the Tea Party does, there are elements in these protests that are violent and do call for further violence.
I would suggest that the folks involved in these sorts of activities are truly fringe elements and are nowhere near the mainstream. Folks such as Sarah Palin, Limbaugh, etc, are in the mainstream and do have the ears of the Conservative establishment.
In the end, I don't think it's helpful to deny there are violent words or actions on either side of this equation. Frankly, I don't really care to point out how much more of this sort of language is used by Conservatives (though it should be obvious to anyone who has been paying attention for the past few years). The point is, this language is not conducive to getting stuff done.
The current state of politics in the US is one that can't be taken seriously. It's almost like America wants to fail. There is serious shit that needs to be done and I get the impression that a significant portion of your nation (or at least an increasingly vocal part) is dead set on preventing anything from being done.
