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.......

RB expressed it better than I could.
I suppose to go "there" you would need to qualify your claim regarding "daily hate spewed". It is simply your opinion.

So with the so-called context issue some of you are whining about, I suppose bringing up a lovable fuzz-ball like Jim Jones is way out of line. It must be so unfair to mention his huge influence with the San Francisco democrats producing rent-free "rent-a-rallies" for liberal politicians and causes... gee, Jim Jones effortlessly garnered such enormous amounts of good will from Democratic politicians and activists. Harvey Milk never seemed to care how Jones could, at the snap of his fingers, direct hundreds of people to stack a public meeting or volunteer for a campaign... (hmmm... sort of like ACORN and SEIU). Milk only cared that he benefited from that control and never bothered to do anything to inhibit such a dangerous cult operating in his city. Instead, he actively aided and abetted a homicidal maniac. And it wasn't just local hacks Jones commanded respect from... he hung out with "big shots" like SF Mayor George Moscone, future first lady Rosalyn Carter, California Governor Jerry Brown, (roachboy's buddy) vice presidential candidate Walter Mondale, and many, many more. Nothin' like taking the old rules for radicals "ends justifies the means" idea to the extreme.

The guy was the democratic party's wet dream until it blew up their faces. Then the scramble to disassociate from Jones after the Jonestown massacre seems like a tactic so familiar in so many ways today (WMDs). Just imagine how inconvenient it became to have ties to one of the biggest mass murderers in modern times. His ties to the media and the Democratic party were numerous. They were happy to use him as long as it served their purposes.

FACT: On November 17, 1978, Jim Jones was a hero to American leftists.

FACT: On November 18, 1978, Jones orchestrated the killings of 918 men, women, and helpless children ...then strangely suddenly morphed in the eyes of American leftists into an evangelical Christian fanatic... this tactic also rings familiar today.

Sorry for those on the left... but he's yours and yours alone . Top that one.
