Ah. Thank you. That's where I was heading, also. At what point do we feel it is necessary to use violence? This quote was posted in the comments section of Matt Margolis's (pro-Bush) blog after he had been in an altercation with anti-Bush protestors.

Hitler had his beliefs, just like Matt has his. Sometimes violence is the only way to show people how devastatingly bad their ideas are. When society is so distraught about policy that individuals feel the need to take violent action, revolution is not only expected, but neccessary. I’m no union man, but I’d have probably taken a swing at you too.

We have an election coming up. Have these people lost that much faith in the election process that they would try to eliminate voters through violence? They surely don't believe that they'll bring voters over to their party this way. Or do they?
