You seem to conflate harsh words with thinly-veiled threats to fire off 
a few rounds in retaliation for them. Perhaps that's one of the few 
methods of self-expression you're familiar with, but I assure you 
they're not really in the same ballpark.

I would say that whatever words liberals say that offend you, my best 
guess is that the overwhelming majority of us don't go to bed thinking 
"Gosh, I wonder what I can do tomorrow to make Conservatives suffer a 
bit more." While you probably feel his methods were misguided, if Obama 
woke up tomorrow and every jobless Conservative had suddenly become 
employed by a new business I'm sure there would be few people more 
pleased than he would be.

Conversely, a large fraction of the anti-Left posts I see here are chock 
full of violent, vengeful fantasies. Sadly, I can only conclude that the 
main reason for the rage is simply because it's an amusing pastime; 
because it's fun.
