Of course he deserved it, you running-dog lackey of the etc, etc...
Er, seriously, Gene, how come you hold so-called "lefties" to a higher
moral standard than your own political bedfellows?  Viz: Righties
root for the right (forgiving their excesses); lefties root for
the left (and ditto).  There are very few people on the net who
condemn *everybody's* violence, which you, Gene, seem to find the
only moral position (and a highly defensible one).  My own observation
is that most of these are of the bleeding-heart liberal variety
(which you'd call "lefties", I probably "righties", but who cares?)
than of any other political persuasion.
