I found an exchange on a Facebook group about the same story with the woman being attacked for political reasons and to my surprise, someone brought up Jim.
Mitch:It seems my prediction of liberal violence and savagery has begun earlier than anticipated.
“Go out there and get in their faces.” - Barack Obama (D)
Maybe that’s why?
Andre: did you magically forget about jim david adkisson?
Mitch:Who? And we’re not talking about a guy named Jim, we’re talking about Obama telling his flock of sheep to “get in their faces” and a guy literally did! WITH A KNIFE!!!
Way to try and change the subject you racist jerk. You just hate all white people you racist!
Andre: this guy adkisson killed people. two people. he walked into a church and started firing. the political discourse in this country is too heavy and hostile PERIOD. adkisson said during his interview with the police that he believed that liberals were trying to destroy america and that he hated them and that they all should be killed and he tried to kill people in a church because he thought they were too liberal. everyone needs to chill, but this thing with people thinking other americans are betraying america because of their views is escalating discourse to a higher level. people just need to learn how to agree to disagree, get along, and get their heads out of their asses. people act like people from other parties are mortal enemies hellbent on this country’s destruction.
Mitch:Well, he was right about liberals trying to destroy the country, but no need to kill people over it. We can let the liberals destroy it and let the libertarians rebuild what the liberals destroy, it’s in our nature. =)
Are you with me Andre? OK, here’s the gameplan! You contribute to the destruction of the country by being a liberal, I’ll wait for you to accomplish your task and I’ll be waiting to rebuild it!! Ready, BREAK!
Andre: don’t you think that the fact that people even believe that could lead them to think that they are justified in killing people because of political reasons?
Mitch: If they’re unstable, perhaps. Things aren’t bad enough yet for any of that. We haven’t suffered through an Obama presidency yet, maybe after four years of that tool we’ll all know what despair is.
This is the precendence with a lot of anti-liberal people.
Evade. Overblow. Personal attack. Downplay. Demean.
And it’s apparently the liberals, just the liberals, we need to worry about being violent.
