"Someone's Going to Get Killed Before This Madness Is Over"

So says Power Line, and I've had the same fear for some time.

The hard left and lunatic liberals simply will not stop agitating for political assassination of their opponents. They're each of them daring each other to take that single orgasmic shot.

This is how violence starts. Most people are not quite so crazy as to do such a thing without provocation. But you add lots of encouragement from their political buddies, the chance to become a "star" among those you seek respect from, and now you're cooking a political-hit stew.

It becomes increasingly difficult to warn them from this behavior without crossing the line oneself. They simply do not hear any kind of sense or moral suasion.

The only thing they might possibly respond to is the caution that political violence from the left will certainly beget retalliatory political violence from the right.

Do they imagine they're the only crazies with ready access to firearms? For crying out loud, if they believe half of the crap they spew, they firmly believe that the state of Idaho consists of little else.

I don't want to go down that road. Why do so many of these lunatics long for just that?
