That's unfortunate both because of what you condemn in political foes and what you excuse in political allies. I've never suggested throwing rocks at cops or defended anyone who did, but a random accusation of that against no one in particular doesn't justify Perrys suggestion Texans (or Iowans) "do" anything to Bernanke. Like I said, I'm starting to understand how German Jews felt in the '30s; not only am I not safe on the street, but when elected leaders urge political violence their "reasonable" allies defend those urgings as "free speech". Incitement to murder is sacrosanct free speech, but objecting to such incitement is NOT free speech, merely abominable. Pardon me if I decline your offer to come through the looking glass to that very scary world.
