You got me, I'm defending the bombings because I'm a dumb dumb who hates obama cuz he's black.

Well, you certainly don't seem all that broken up about active terrorism or an assassination attempt against a former President. And given your general antipathy toward "the left", it's not exactly difficult to form opinions why.

I suspect that if any Republicans had actually been targeted - rather than the desperate "look, we might be victims too!" rhetoric - you'd have a considerably different view.

To act like this is a left thing or a right thing is crazy. Both sides have been attacked by lunatics because the media (on both sides) is more interested in whipping Americans into a frenzy for ratings than being reasonable and truthful. A republican senator was gunned down at a baseball game. A democrat congresswoman was shot in the head by a lunatic. Everyone needs to take a step back from the ledge.

False equivalency is false.

US across Dem and Republican administrations have both had military actions influencing other countries, this is well known and condemned by many. In general the practice was to condemn and discourage terrorism on US soil, correct? There was always some nationalism among the globalism, generally agreed upon by the major parties.

So are you basically of the position that terrorism should now be accepted on US soil because it’s apparently correlated to partisanship?

Yeah, you never see acts of political violence carried out by the left. Like shooting up a Republican congressional baseball game.

So predictable.

Point to a single act of violence,maybe even multiple acts against a Cascade of right wing terror that has plagued the US for decades. Then call it both sides.
