bdj: With the amount of "right wing hate speech," how on earth are we not seeing an all-out war complete with militias roving the streets of Cambridge, of Amherst, of Berkeley?

We're not seeing "all out war" in liberal areas because liberals, as a rule, don't pull a gun the minute they hear an opposing view. We also don't tend to arm ourselves to the extent that the right does.

What we're seeing today is more akin to the rise in militia violence we saw back in the '90s during the Clinton administration -- which is exactly what I said I feared when I first started talking about this issue here several years ago.
