Political Bombs and the High Cost of Unleashing Political Violence frontpagemag.com/point/271732/p…

When you unleash political terror, as Rep. Maxine Waters and Senator Hirono, have done, the result will be a cycle of political violence that can't be controlled. That's why responsible leaders don't unleash political violence.
And when a political movement does, and then objects only to the political violence that affects its own officials, it has no moral high ground, only a sewer.
The media has quickly memory holed Eric Holder's quotes. It's forgotten that very recently it was defending angry mobs. Now it will shift into its outraged and censorious mode. But its propaganda is only reaching the half of the country that agrees with it.
Censoring Facebook and Twitter won't change that.
If the Left wants to stop political violence, to quote Obama, we are the ones we have been waiting for.

You don't stop a cycle of violence by pretending that your side consists of martyrs while the other side has it coming, as Senator Hirono has done. When you play that game, everyone loses and the violence spins out of control.
