Those who condemn the expression of violence but are not willing to condemn the vigorous and consistent spread of irresponsible false narratives - especially when they know damn well they’re false - are as culpable of violence as are the vulnerable suckers who believe their lies.

If there is a language-scheme that correlates with violence it is the language-scheme of moral judgment, which ironically is a language-scheme you prefer

The economic effects of austerity which leads to the deaths of the vulnerable around us can also lead to deaths in the leadership class. Perhaps the media should highlight the effects of austerity in addition to denouncing violence. Austerity is violence inflicted upon the poor.

As culpable? Really? Condemnation absolves guilt?

Catering to the crazies isn't going to help anybody with anything. Holding as closely as possible to the truth is all we have. If Paul Pelosi was having gay orgies that's his right, but it's just silly for them to try to cover it up. They aren't good enough at cover ups.

And yet you are okay with them hanging the violence on the Republican Party?
