Comments by "Ronin Dave" (@RoninDave) on "Hate & Fear Drove Vegas Shooters, Guns Let Them Kill" video.

  1. Have rightwingers labeled them as leftist pinko commies yet like they have with the mass shooters? Anyone who has followed the rise of radical rightwing rhetoric from the mid-90s onward should not be terribly surprised by this. This notion that "both sides are at fault" is both naive and disingenuous and criminal ignores the ongoing and growing violent mentality brewing amongst a number of hardcore rightwingers. You can see it across the board from media pundits, rightwing politicians, rightwing commentators - there is a lot crazy going on there from violently-charged rhetoric to insane conspiracy theories that Sandy Hook is a hoax to projecting their intolerance, racism, and hostility on toward liberals hence the myth that most mass shooters were liberals' because of liberals well known love of guns or some such nonsense. I think the time has come for a massive intervention and deprogramming of the rightwing before more of these impromptu revolutions spring up.

  2. WhirlingWolves Oh yeah I forgot the other rightwing denial tactic - if you can't blame liberals call it a hoax and a false flag.

  3. ***** sorry that democrat-republican is the same is fucking bullshit. While the democrats are no angels they aren't actively pushing against minorities and women nor are their followers arming up for some civil war/revolution that's in their heads

  5. 83hnybadger can you name the leftist pundits who spew this constant vitriol? Is there a liberal book with a title like "Liberalism is a mental disorder" - a book found in possession of the Unitarian Church shooter? Can you point to the liberal politician who said something along the line of needing a 2nd Amendment solution to a problem involving liberals?

  6. 83hnybadger must you guys take everything so literally? This is another serious failing with many of the right.

  7. ***** yeah the number of democrats calling sandy hook a hoax is about....none as far as I know

  8. 83hnybadger The difference is the rhetoric and the method of delivery. Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Mike Savage, Ann Coulter, etc... preach a very angry hostile paranoid message which has a rather overt violent nature to it. The word liberal has become this all encompassing blanket term for those who they see as responsible for the decline of America.  You can be naive or disingenuous with your stance that both sides are crazy but the fact is the right due to this incessant litany of fear, paranoia, intolerance, anger, etc... is far more prone to paranoia and violence. We have seen this in Vegas, at the Bundy ranch, the Sikh temple shooting, the Unitarian shooting in Tennessee. "May I suggest some grammatical clues to reference next time as to not propagate the idea that the extremes are more prevalent than they are." lol! You're like a kid trying on your dad's suit pretending you are a business man but not having a clue what you are doing. I know you think you are clever with the "grammar clues" line but like the child in the clothes too big for him, you are fumbling about. You just hope that you sound intelligent. I would suggest sticking to the main idea rather than quibbling over the smaller points.

  9. Keven Harvey however this isn't the result of a left-right conflict. These are random acts of violence influenced by paranoid propaganda. The thing is both sides agree with the government is corrupt. The difference is the left generally believes in reforming the government while many on the right want to get rid of it all together or render it insignificant. Meanwhile many of them arm themselves believing the day when government troops will throw people in FEMA death camps is nigh

  10. ***** Bill Ayers' group didn't kill anyone, that 40 years ago, and the left doesn't associate with groups like that. In 2008 most Democrats didn't even know who Ayers or the Weather Underground were. Sorry life in self-denial all you want but reality is against you.

  11. BloodMoneyLLC very true. I'm tired of this disingenuous notion that "both sides are doing it" when they are clearly not. Many who say if you give into the left-right paradigm you'll find typically have rightwing views rather than progressive ones. Funny, that.

  12. 83hnybadger democrats have been cultivating violence? How? Fast and Furious is a bullshit example as was your weak Bashir comment. You really are living in denial to equate Bashir to the ongoing stream of paranoia, fear, and anger streaming out of Alex Jones, Limbaugh, Mike Savage, etc...   You had people willing to kill people over tax issues in Nevada - not for human rights. You really need to check yourself.

  13. 83hnybadger the idea of a massive intervention should have aided you there

  14. 83hnybadger absolutely nothing to do with this topic but I guess when you get trounced on one point you switch to a completely unrelated one.

  15. 83hnybadger Seriously, do you have some kind of attention deficient span disorder or asperger's? My original position has been and remains that rightwing pundits, politicians, and commentators perpetuate an atmosphere of paranoia, fear, and intolerance. What you are babbling about is unrelated.

  16. 83hnybadger "Other than that all you've done is fling insults and claim false equivalency without backing up your assertions in any way." That's you in a nutshell. It's amazing how you guys so accurately projected yourselves to a tee on your opposition. A psychiatrist would have a field day with you.

  17. 83hnybadger yeah, you're obsessed alright.

  18. James Smith assumption junction - I'd rather he left the store and be alive. Having that gun killed him

  19. James Smith I am a gun owner, dipshit. Grew up with them, spent time in the military so this idea of gun owners being some other class that you are suggesting to make your strawman is nonsense. I'm not in favor of concealed carry, open carry, and a lack of background checks.

  20. 83hnybadger So the AG was out to kill Americans? Was that his nefarious goal? Was he constantly preaching hate and intolerance towards one group of people? Seriously, are you this dumb by nature or intention? This is not equatable to years of violent rightwing rhetoric which has had far more negative impact on society You are a disingenuous fuckwit.

  21. 83hnybadger deflection? What the hell was your fast&furious shit if not deflection? why are you so fixated on one little aspect of my post? That kind of obsessiveness on one thing a sign of asperger's you know.
