Nope, you're thinking of noble freedom fighters, as alluded to by mgarfias in this sub-thread, not mass murderers. As for your additions including "It's pretty hard to have sensible discussions with someone who resorts to threatening to kill his opponents." Well, we "conservatives" do that all the time, it's not like our opponents don't implicitly or explicitly threaten that all the time, certainly for all my life (our current president started his political career in the home of a man who quite explicitly planned to murder me and mine as people not amenable to reeducation, once the revolution succeeded). What do you think the general campaigns against my kind, the inhabitants of flyover country, backed with the full force of the law, imply? They reduce to enforcement by harsh men with guns. That I sometimes reify this in these discussions lends clarity to just what we're really talking about. If you don't like that, if you find it so alarming that your favored policies have such nasty backlash potential, might it not be better to reconsider them, as opposed to shooting the messenger?
