Why are liberals so violent?

   Yesterday, busloads of union thugs showed up in Washington DC.  SEIU, etc, marked busses and loads of people carrying pre-printed signs...  They assaulted a candidate for Congress, knocking him down. 
   
   Did you hear about it in the news?   Nope.  The liberal media won't tell on their own goons.   
   
   So, why do you liberals have to resort to violence?  Here's some more:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm_Fl3AszuU
   
   Then of course, there were the TEA Party events, where union thugs (isn't that redundant?) beat up a number of people.  When are you liberals going to join modern society, and swear off violence, disband your thug gangs?

            You seem to forget why unions were formed in the first place!  It was for protection from greedy corporations and businessmen.
            
            Truckers hauling produce from the south, to New York agreed to a price for their efforts.  When they reached their destination with the goods, the greedy businessmen and/or companies offered much less than the agreed upon price for their services.  If they didn't accept that, they were told to let the produce rot on their trucks.
            
            Other collective bargaining involves safety matters.  How many times must a coal mining company get caught violating safety laws before you realize that many men have died unnecessarily due to greedy efforts at increasing profits?
            
            Look at the mess that negligence has left in Bophal India, by Union Carbide!  Leaking chemicals killed many thousands, with over 120,000 still waiting for the legal beagles to come to some sort of agreement.  Meanwhile, those people go untreated for the most part, and have no say in the matter.  Had there been a collective bargaining union there, this tragedy may have been avoided.
            
            I don't call unions "paid thugs", I call them taxpaying citizens wanting fair wages, benefits and safe working conditions.  Trusting greedy businessmen and corporations is not an option.  People trusted the people in charge of 3 mile island.  People trusted Bernie Madoff. people trust the safety measures at mines, and got burned quite often.
            
            Guaranteeing the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, cannot be left up to the whims of the greedy and unscrupulous. When you buy a home, it must pass certain standards and meet codes.  When you buy a car, you expect the manufacturer to stand by their promises with some sort of enforcable guarantee that they will be responsible for anything that goes wrong for a certain period of time.
            
            Why do you think that human beings deserve anything less than the ability to earn a livable wage, decent benefits  and a safe working environment?
            
            The day that greeed, corruption are a thing of the past, is the day that people will no longer need protection in numbers!

   Would it that liberals actually criticized her... that would be a conversation that could occur, because it would be based on reality.   But, that's not the the case.  They don't criticize, they simply hate, promote hate, and spew hate.

   Liberalism is violent by definition. It is the application of mob rule vs. property rights of individuals. Liberalism believes that the majority have the right to take property away from the minority.
   Ayn Rand lived through this in her native country and saw the evil of those who ruled through the politics of take from the rich and give to the poor.
   She became a political philosopher, came to America and began writing against the evils of liberalism, communism, and socialism.
   Over 50 years ago, she predicted that the republican party would promote big government just as much as the democratic party. The only difference would be where they wanted the money to go. The republicans want money to mainly go to corporations and war, while the democrats want social programs. Both want big government. Neither support honest money.
   If you want to understand the liberal socialist mindset, read "Atlas Shrugged". I personally believe that this book is the greatest book ever written by a single human.

   Liberals feel that no matter what a person wants or needs it should be given to them.  Liberals feel that the government is the answer to all problems.
   
   The reason they are soo violent is that they want all to be able to do what they want, no matter what or who gets offended by it.  They also want to playcate all those that just want to be heard even if their voice is filthy or not.
   
   They also don't want anything to be taken away from those that have it - like the Wisconsin teachers - the teachers collective bargining rights have not been taken away, however their bargining right to extra benefits and pay raises based on longivity have, and the unions do fill the pockets of the Democrats/Liberals.

    Wow.
    
    Accusations of wholesale deliberate thuggery are backed up with one video a guy pushing a camera out of his face in the course of a heated argument.
    
    Is that the best evidence of 'violent liberals' you've got?
    
    On the other hand, you've got a rich tradition--a weird phrase to use in this context!--of conservatives using or advocating violence, from Gordon LIbby to Rush Limbaugh.
    
    --Gordon Libby:  "Now if the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms, resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof vests."--August 26, 1994
    
    --Repeated assassinations of abortion services providers, including the bombings of the Olympics, a dance club and two abortion clinics, killing (IIRC) 6 people, carried out by Eric Rudolph.
    
    --Thousands of radical conservatives have formed armed groups and regularly train in the use of lethal force.  Most adopt a defensive stance, but some have gone over onto the offensive against a political system they perceive as oppressive and illegal:
    
    "Within 90 days [in 2009] came the Von Brunn shooting [of a security guard; the plan was to murder an Obama advisor]; a triple murder of police officers in Pittsburgh by white supremacist Richard Andrew Poplawski; and a double murder of sheriff's deputies in Florida by a National Guardsman, Joshua Cartwright, who attributed his rage to Obama's election.
    
    "The specter of the lone-wolf terrorist is what most worries law-enforcement officials, who return again and again to the searing example of Timothy McVeigh. Before destroying the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995, killing 168 people, McVeigh cycled through several white-supremacist groups and militias. In the end he decided to act alone, abetted by his friend Terry Nichols."
    
    (Time magazine, September 30, 2010)
    
    --Right-wing talk radio hosts routinely advocate violence.  One example:  Rush Limbaugh calling for climate scientists to be "drawn and quartered" on November 24, 2009:
    
    http://www.cejournal.net/?p=2334
    
    In fact, a number of higher-profile climate scientists have received death threats and have required security protection, though thankfully no actual assassination attempts have occurred so far.
    
    So, when 'liberal violence' is decried, I think that a little reflection is in order.  Preferably self-reflection.

    Then there was this:
    
    At one point in the phone conversation, a caller who identified himself as billionaire David Koch, a Walker ally and campaign supporter, asked about "planting some troublemakers" to incite the crowds at what have been peaceful protests. The caller was actually Ian Murphy, a blogger who goes by the name of the Buffalo Beast.
    
    "(We) thought about that," replied the governor, who added: "My only fear would be is if there was a ruckus caused is that that would scare the public into thinking maybe the governor has gotta settle to avoid all these problems."
    
    Here's Mayor Cieslewicz's response:
    
    "Our police department estimates that maybe a half million people have come through the Capitol Square in the last 10 days. They've come with high emotions, and there have been counter protesters. So you might expect trouble. Instead, what we've gotten is high civic engagement and peaceful protest. We have not had a single arrest over the course of the protests.
    
    "And we're neat, also. I stop and chat from time to time with the Capital Concourse crews who clean the Square, and they tell me that the place is cleaner than ever. People are taking care of the municipal lawn as well as their own living rooms. Last night when I was inside the Capitol, the protestors organized a cleaning hour, clearing out of the rotunda to allow the sweepers and mops to come through. We're living up to our reputation for Midwest politeness."
