That is the problem that has led to yesterdays shooting. If they were interested in an honest debate this wouldn't have happened. What Democrat politician has been shot since JFK? I might have forgotten but all I remember is republicans/conservatives getting shot over their political believes.
When democrats say 'we just want to have a debate', they mean they want a monologue and want to browbeat and shame and wear you down until you cave.
What happened to Charlie is lefty response to real debate and deliberation, because they can not win on ideas. They know it, we know it, and they know that we know it.
They've painted themselves into a corner with bad decisions about policy positions, now they're stuck with them, and they expect everyone who is not them to suffer the consequences.
Charlie was the nice version. They killed him. Those that follow will not be so nice.
