Its not like other violent events.  There was an intent to kill.  The man definitely wanted to kill Republican politicians specifically.  You won't find another event like that.
But then the original poster brings in Whoopi Goldberg being profane with Jeannine Pirro.  This was not violent.  No intent to kill.  Neither is a politician, though one used to be a politician.  There are a lot of "rude, but not violent" political exchanges every day.
To me this invites others to bring up similar events from many other angles, but, apparently not.  Maybe only if they are other examples of "the right" being the victim.

You must be living under a rock. 

Threats to conservative speakers at colleges are going on all over the country. Most just start out as protests ending in shout downs denying a person the chance to speak, but many have turned violent. These are ALL from the Left against the Right.

Likewise, the Right has not kicked out Democrats from businesses for political reasons, and did not do so when Obama was POUTS. That's solely from the Left.

Just a few posts up, B2hibry enclosed a link to a congressman who's children were threatened.

How many examples do you need?

If your point is that no one has been killed yet, well that's a pretty lame rationalization.

If your point is that you support these actions, then you should be ashamed.

If you get to the end of B2hibry's link, it names three Democrats in Congress who recently received death threats. So it's not all from the left against the right.

Threatening the person that your neighbors elected to represent you is totally indefensible.
But, without getting too lost in the weeds, some of the things that some of these members of Congress have done or allowed to be done in their name are also totally indefensible.
Two wrongs don't make a right, and those that threaten should be prosecuted, but the one making their living doing indefensible things should not be surprised as chickens come home to roost.
