bemused_leftist"So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.”
Woops, that was the liberal Molly Ivins (whom I loved too).

Come ON.
It's not that the left doesn't use violence. But pretending that these are the same is BS and it weakens your argument.
