The G20 vandalism isn't equal in your head because you don't equate the actions and grade the violence because it isn't your storefront and goods that were destroyed.

So now you bring in the Watts riots? Just another deflection.
If you dont see the difference in the intent of the acts (the intent of rock throwing is not to shut down the store), the resulting level of violence (again, rock v molotov cocktail) and the deliberate attempt at intimidation (in one and not the other) in the political messages...I guess there is nothing to more to be said.
And we can go back to the topic of discussion.....the impact or potential impact of vitriolic discourse.
Since I cant a response from anyone else...perhaps you can enlighten me.
Please provide example of anything on the left comparable to the daily hate fest spewed on conservative talk radio/tv....Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reilly, Savage, Levin, Hewitt, etc.......
