Agreed these type of actions are absolutely disgusting and despicable no matter what side does it, and no matter what side it is done to.

You're missing the point. It's not the excuse... it's the precarious tipping point. And yes... people are angry about the wars, too. It's a cumulative effect.

It figures...did you miss that the entire statement. BOTH parties will lump a party or race into a broad pool based on the actions of a few. And for the record, during the townhall meetings, democrats were called Thugs, hoods. You have commentators on the Right comparing Democrats to terrorists, so please save me the partisan crap. No one on either side have clean hands.

And maybe it hasn't sunk in, but Cantor stood on television and blamed the democrats for someone taking target practice at his office. Again, NO CLEAN HANDS.
But hey, continue to be the partisan foot soldier, at least most on this thread have finally spoken up on the BS both parties have been shoveling our way.

It is an excuse for this behavior. So I guess the guy that flew his plane into the IRS building was justified, oh how about the FT Hood shooter, oh wait those who lost their job that went back to their company and shot folks, I guess their justified or tipping points?

No more acceptable than were the race riots of the 1960's; when not so coincidentially, the Democrats were stirring the anger to incite violence as well.

Right now this country is a pressure cooker boiling over. Best the Obama andministration and the entire Congress listen clearly to the public before they cause the top to blow off this pressure cooker.

ObamaBush is likely loving this violence because it creates an opportunity to enact some draconian thought crime legislation.

Why do you think they're justified?

The point is, they were driven to the point that they felt the action taken was necessary. They were pushed beyond the tipping point. Perhaps governing the country in a way in which the majority of the population disagrees has consequences. Revolutions and Civil Wars were sparked by similar circumstances, no?
