So far... so good.

Maybe it's the legislation that has been proposed and passed that has angered conservatives.

"Many on the right have exploited the arguments of division, reaping political power by demonizing.........."

Both sides have exploited the arguements of division. (Maddow, Olbermann..)
Both sides are wrong to do so.

"They seem to have persuaded many Americans that the government is not just misguided, but the enemy of the people. "

Many Americans think that the policies offered up by liberal office holders are bad for the country. I don't know how many actually think of the government as "the enemy". Certainly many think that some should be removed from office as witnessed by the last election.


"Now, having seen first hand the horror of political violence, Arizona should lead the nation in quieting the voices of intolerance, demanding an end to the temptations of bloodshed"

That I can agree with whole-heartedly.
Listen, we are not going back to the 19th century so if folks on the right don't like that, tough.

All I read is denial.
