[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 66895, member: 35"] It's interesting how Alex Jones and his ilk refer to every domestic shooting as a "false flag," unless the shooter supported a progressive politician. A political consultant named Harlan Hill said Bernie's description of Trump as "dangerous" is "A passive justification for the kind of violence we saw." You have to be an incredibly disingenuous hack to make the leap from calling a politician dangerous to giving consent for violence. Sanders condemned the shooter and expressed his commitment to nonviolence, but it's ridiculous that he has to defend himself at all. While Sanders vehemently opposes Trump's agenda, he only supports a peaceful revolution consisting of grassroots activism. He has never been an advocate of violence, and this campaign worker obviously missed that part of his message. All this does is embolden the right to condemn the left. Gabrielle Giffords was shot after Sarah Palin put her in crosshairs on a map of legislators that voted for Obamacare. It was followed up with the infamous "Don't retreat, reload!" And, of course, Trump advocated violence against protesters at his rallies and even against Hillary Clinton with his line about "second amendment people." Civilian deaths in the Middle East have also increased under Trump, which the right never complains about. This is just pure projection on the part of right wingers. That's not to say that misguided progressives aren't capable of violence, but they're sure as hell not being persuaded to do so by Bernie Sanders. [/QUOTE]
