Explain why the millions of people subjected to the messages on these signs and political rhetoric have committed no violence at all.
A gas line at the Charlottesville, Va., home of the brother of Rep. Tom Perriello, D-Va., was severed Tuesday after a self-identified "tea party" activist posted what he believed to be the Virginia Democrat's address on a Web site and urged opponents to "drop by" to convey their opposition to his yes vote on health care.
Telephone and e-mail threats have escalated to vandalized gas lines, envelopes containing mysterious white powder, bricks thrown through windows and threats of sniper fire against children and grandchildren.
Adding to the current ugliness are accusations from some Democrats that the violence has been incited by the angry rhetoric of Republicans and antigovernment Tea Party activists, who cheered protesters inside the House chamber on the evening the health care bill was passed.
Two former Democratic representatives from Arizona reportedly received numerous threats during their time in office after being placed on Sarah Palin's "crosshairs" map.

You do realize that senators and representatives from both sides of the aisle get death threats and that articles can be found to show that the left is also guilty of vandalism, yes?

LOL if I take a swig of milk and it is spoiled, I don't need to drink the entire carton to be sure.
If you were duped it makes me question your sources/validity of the others.

What would be the point?
Both sides have done it, both sides have been threatened, and both sides have been attacked in one way or another. Or is this the part where we play the "mine is bigger than yours" game?

Give me a break. When you make overt threats I think the message is quit simple to understand. Not blaming Palin directly mind you, but where ther's smoke there is usually fire. The message is loud and clear.
