Can someone, anyone, please provide any evidence of a pattern of violence being perpetrated BY Republicans/Conservatives AGAINST Democrats/Liberals?

The evidence is quite clear. We have campaign headquarters being vandalized; signs being firebombed; supporters being physically assaulted; automobiles rented by campaigns to transport voters having their tires slashed on election day; and a list longer than both my arms stitched together of additional offenses. The media has been complicit in creating this idea that “violence begets violence”, and so the Republicans deserve what they get. Except for the very inconvenient fact that the Republicans are not doing much, if any, of the violence in the first place.

I hold the media responsible for most of this activity. They are misinforming the public about the “danger” presented by McCain/Palin and their “angry mobs” of followers. It’s simply not there. Go to a McCain/Palin event, and you will see people engaging in the pinnacle of courtesy… even in the face of protesters, condescendors, gate-crashers and other disruptive characters.

It’s quite obvious that the media is also complicit the current attempt to disrupt this election with claims of voter fraud, intimidation and “vote suppression”, as they stack up claims by Republicans that the actions of ACORN, and similar groups, need to be investigated and voter identification needs to be substantiated. Why does proving you have a right to vote equate to “voter intimidation”? Why are people, only on the left, afraid to identify themselves as being legal voters in a community where they live? I am very disappointed with the Supreme Court decision today saying that every vote must be counted, even if it belongs to a corpse, or 2nd grader, or Mickey Mouse. The whole thing is a carefully crafted (although not consciously conceived) attempt at stealing the election from McCain/Palin and handing it to Obama/Biden. Heck, even the polls are tilted. They have to interview 30% more Democrats than Republicans in order to give the impression that Obama is winning. The only reason they would do that is to dishearten the Conservative voters, and make them feel “weird”, “stupid” or just “hateful” for supporting their candidate.

The propaganda machine moves on. 90% of journalists can’t be wrong, can they? I actually fear a McCain win, because the media will now spend another four years telling us what a failure he is, how angry and erratic he is, and how he didn’t deserve to be elected, anyway. Tell me how that will serve this country. Please.

Ugh. It’s hardly even worth writing about at this point. The truth will never get through to most Americans, anyway. They think all world events can be understood in 20 minutes or less.
