Votto, do you honestly believe that there are more examples of Dems using overblown or inflammatory rhetoric than there are of Republicans?
Really?

I don't care what you or anyone else has to say about it. Get out there and provide links and let the chips fall where they may.
This thread provides a rare glimpse out accountability. I WANT NAMES!

Silly nutter. You won't find many people who want to sit here and post links for you to ignore as you try your dopey game of whackamole.
Who has the most political vitriol that leads to shootings like the one in Virginia in terms of the political leaders in the US? Instead of looking at just a political party, let's look at the individuals who are contributing to it. For at least a brief period on this thread, let's hold politicians accountable and rat them out.
At the end of the thread, we can then tally which end of the political spectrum seems to be the worse end, or if they are the same
California Dem leader leads ‘f**k Trump’ chant at convention while holding up two middle fingers
Democratic leader John Burton hold up both middle fingers while chanting "F" Trump with the crowd at a Democrat convention in California
Still hard to top this...
What's that?
No it's not "going away". Why would it "go away"?
I'm only focusing on politicians on this thread. Perhaps we can start another thread about the media, and yet another about other rich folk who are influential like Ted.
I think it is best to start at the top and work our way down.
Vitriol is one thing.Hey, can we count all the times that Obama was burned in effigy, hung in effigy, and all the nasty things that were said about him that weren't true (he's not a citizen)?
How about the night Obama was elected when McConnell said that he wanted to make Obama a one term president? How about when the right called Obama a traitor, socialist, nazi, communist, emperor, or dictator?
Fact: Most of the vitriol that is being slung about started when Obama was elected.

Whelp --- your OP said "political vitriol and the individuals who contribute to it". A little late to move the goalposts just because you don't like who scores. Clearly you don't need to be a politician or run for office at all in order to be a "political leader". Equally clearly, the brunt of political vitriol comes from people who are not politicians at all.
Funny you didn't make the same point about post 7.

Should our elected politicians be held to a higher standard than what goes on here on these boards?
Yes or no?

Easiest question I've ever seen.
**EVERYBODY** should be held to a higher standard than what goes on here. Especially those who perpetuate --- what goes on here.
Alan Grayson stood up in Congress and announced the GOP plan for health care.

2. "If you do get sick, die quickly"
Why does it matter? Once you get to a critical mass of hate on both sides, comparing relative intensity is in my view nonsense. What we should do is commit to see our neighbors as fellow Americans and not lapse into hating them just because they disagree.Who has the most political vitriol that leads to shootings like the one in Virginia in terms of the political leaders in the US?
