Just to be clear....

"We can all agree the rhetoric is over the top."  Okay - now.  Tell me how helpful it is to refer to people as "ignoramuses"?  and excusing bad behavior and hurting and killing people because of disagreement with ideology.  

And I suspect it is not only the Republicans that could "use a little more introspection to figure out what they are doing to create the volatile situation which gives rise to these incidents."
