John at Powerline wrote about the increase in liberal hate-speech and threats of violence these days. Specifically, he referred to an incident in the Wisconsin Assembly. Immediately after the Republicans had passed their budget in Wisconsin's Assembly, Rep. Gordon Hintz (D Oshkosh) turned to Rep. Michelle Litjens (R-Winneconne) and yelled, "You are f****** dead!"

There is a great deal of violent talk going on these days, substantially all of it by liberals. You could try to explain it by saying it is because they are losing, but conservatives didn't go postal when they were losing just a few years ago. I think there is a close correlation between anger and liberalism. Many liberals--not all, but a great many--are liberal precisely because they seethe with resentment against the world. It doesn't take much for that anger to break through, as we are seeing very often these days.

John is right.  When you pull the pacifier out of a spoiled baby's mouth, he is likely to scream and bawl quite loudly.  That leads to another psychological phenomenon so terribly obvious from the left, that of psychological projection.   People often see in others the very same attributes that they so hate or fear in themselves; the liberal left continually decries conservatives as boiling with anger, hatred and racism, when these attributes are so much more obvious in themselves.

The great sturm and drang following the Arizona tragedy is finally receding, but it leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.  I have never witnessed a worse case of liberal hatred and verbal violence in all my life.  The vicious lies that the Left unleashed against conservative pundits and personalities was truly unprecedented.  It made me realize that we on the Right do not share with the Left a common nationality, culture or tradition.  We only share the same continent, live within the borders of the same nation state.  We share little else.

The Left is more than ruthless, they are evil.  They seek to rule, not by persuasion or honest debate, but by any means necessary.  They revel in slander, character assassination and violence.  They are steeped in hatred for all who oppose them. They seek to create and hold a monopoly on news media and editorial opinion; they support voter fraud and stolen elections; they prosecute political opponents on trumped-up charges in kangaroo courts.  They have raised "the politics of personal destruction" to a high art form.  Fairness, civility and common decency are unknown to them.  I do not see the American Left as fellow citizens, I see them as sworn enemies for whom I feel little or no commonality or fraternity.

The Left has, however, finally convinced me of the truth of one of their key precepts:  Politics is war by other means.  They proved that in their orgy of hate and slander following the Arizona shootings.  I shall not forget again.
