Right-wing Violence? And the Pot Called the Kettle Black
Your odds are greater of being mauled at the zoo than becoming a victim of right wing violence. That's why I'm tired of hearing ad nauseum that the Tea Party and conservative talk shows are inciting violence among disenchanted Americans. The ambassadors of doom and gloom hastily, and often erroneously seize upon every opportunity to attribute any act of aggression to radical right-wing angst. Ironically, the most noteworthy of all political violence has been perpetrated by the radical left. Let's recap, shall we?
Last summer an Obama supporter bit off the finger of an opponent of socialized health care.
At the G20 summit anti-capitalist demonstrators started fires, smashed windows and threw items at police.
Eco-terrorist group ELF committed major crimes including arson attacks and driving spikes into trees, resulting in the injury of several loggers.
In September 2008 a liberal tried to sneak a bomb into the Republican National Convention.
May Day demonstrators, reported by the mainstream media as "mostly peaceful" shattered windows, injured conservative activists and splattered storefronts with graffiti.
First accused of being a right-wing radical, Joseph Stack, who flew a plane into an IRS office in Texas, left behind a manifesto quoting Karl Marx and denouncing capitalism.
Amy Bishop, the woman who shot several co-workers was an Obama supporter. A family member described her as a "far-left political extremist" and "obsessed" with the President.
Holocaust Museum shooter James von Brunn, far from being a conservative, was an anti-Semite and socialist who idolized Adolph Hitler. He believed "Christianity and the Holocaust were Hoaxes."
It was liberals, not conservatives who burned down Hummer dealerships and destroyed AM radio towers.
While it's true that Americans are frustrated, I find it both insulting and wildly irresponsible to suggest that conservatives are impressionable enough as to be so easily led astray. In fact, the very thought of inflicting violence upon others goes against our sensibilities.
House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi has been advancing her own brand of nincompoopism with her over the top apocalyptic statements. In the biggest display of crocodile tears ever, she warned of folks repeating the 1990's violence she witnessed in San Francisco. I swear, if she gets any more hysterical we may have to turn the hose on her.
Glenn Thrush of Politico reported that one of the Speakers top aides admitted she was referring to the murder of gay rights activists Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone. In a thoughtful response to Madam Pelosi's remarks, National Republican Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-Texas) said the following:
"No longer content to criticize concerned citizens for being ‘Un-American,' the Speaker is now likening genuine opposition to assassination. Such insulting rhetoric not only undermines the credibility of her office, but it underscores the desperate attempt by her party to divert attention away from a failing agenda."
Various circumstances may cause a person to become violent. Dr. Bruce Perry, an international authority on brain development wrote in his article Why does Violence Happen, "Some violence is due to impulsive behavior, some due to the disinhibition by drugs or alcohol, some due to serious mental illness, some to hate, revenge or retribution."
While there is ultimately no way to predict violence, there are proven methods to decrease its likelihood. People sometimes resort to violence when they feel they have no other choice. In my work as a psychiatric nurse I am well versed in crisis intervention. The best way to deter violence is to insure that people have choices and to empower them with some element of control over their situation. I would contend that the Tea Party, 912 groups and conservative media, by providing an outlet for frustration and giving people a sense that they can affect change, may actually deter those who might otherwise turn to violence.
Dr. Perry writes:
"When we become more detached from each other and from common unifying beliefs, violence increases. Without being connected to others, we care less for their welfare. When we share common bonds of belief and value with others, we are less likely to be aggressive or violent to others in our community. When individuals become isolated, marginalized and without some connection to those around them, violence increases."
Therefore, you could argue that the populist conservative movement, rather than being dangerous, actually provides a service to the community. I have experienced an amazing atmosphere of comradery at Tea Party events. Although justifiably alarmed by our government's massive overreach and out of control spending, we conservatives are generally good natured, well mannered and charitable people who know how to have a good time. We also do a fair amount of policing our own. Most of us have little difficulty reminding peers to check their vitriol, offensive signs and general knuckleheadedness at the door.
