"Gullible conservatives are lapping it up. Civic violence in the US, historically, is predominately a right-wing phenomenon."

Hmmm...let's see the IWW i.e. Wobblies of the early 20th century were certainly a violent liberal group. Hmmm....let's see, the SDS (that's Students for a Democratic Society) of the 60's early 70s' was a violent liberal group. Perhaps a lesson in history would clear up some of your perception of "civic violence being a right-wing phenomenon!"

ALF and ELF were/are certainly violent liberal groups and the list goes on....
