It’s official.

If you are openly for violence against your political opponents, you are by definition a Democrat.  There are no Republican supporting media outlets championing violence against political opponents.  But there are many examples of liberal activists roughing up — and much, much worse — their perceived conservative “enemies.”

Here’s one incident that happened at a town hall where people were discussing Obamacare alternatives:

Now, here’s how the Washington Post described it:

‘I was out of my mind with anger,’ man says after berating congressman at raucous town hall

For the record, Mike Quinn would like to apologize for “putting hands” on a U.S. congressman.

“I was out of my mind with anger for a few moments there,” the retired 68-year-old from Hazen, N.D.., told The Washington Post.

Quinn tried to stuff a wad of cash into the blue blazer of Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) on Thursday afternoon in what quickly became the most climactic moment of a fiery town hall meeting at the Mandan Eagles Club in Mandan, N.D.

The genesis of the cash-stuffing — as well as the mind-altering anger — was an ongoing debate over the Affordable Care Act, a dispute that continues to turn formerly boring town halls into raucous clashes between power brokers and ordinary people terrified of losing their health care…

At some point, in the swirl of angry exchanges between constituent and representative, Quinn approached Cramer and attempted to aggressively shove money into his jacket before turning and walking away. It was theatrical and mildly frightening, but Cramer maintained his composure throughout.

Can you imagine for one second how the WaPo would described a Tea Party member grabbing an elected official?  Oh, that’s right.  A Tea Party member would never do that.  Yet, the media constantly portrayed the Tea Party as racist and violent.

But if anything ever had happened with the Tea Party, I guarantee the media wouldn’t describe the assault as “theatric.”

I have had it with the media’s double standards and the left’s acceptance of utterly unacceptable behavior.  If the Left does not get control of its political hatred and contempt for conservatives, our nation will not survive.
