And some of them post condescending and mean-spirited talking points.

A good post author must write to the level of their audience.

Can't be true The Boston Globe is part of the mainstream media.

Your effort to conflate a few idiotic loudmouths in Phoenix with folks who physically attacked and injured a college prof is nothing more than a sad defense of the violence of the folks at the college....and its sad.
Did it ever occur to you that the reason no one was attacked might have been because it was a Trump rally? Hardly a place where one might expect to find any liberals. There were plenty of occasions during the run up to the election where people attempting to speak were attacked at Trump rallies and he cheered them on and offered to pay their legal expenses. What is really sad Mike is watching you waste all the time you do hunting down things that you hope will embarrass liberals (since I am a conservative they don't bother me). You noted elsewhere here that you don't make six figures. Perhaps if you gave as much attention to your work as to your feeble links you just might earn that much. Hell I only completed the tenth grade and I did.

It never occurred to me because we know that they DO show up at Trump rallies, and are directed to go there and are told how to incite when they go. You're right, you need to catch up on current events. Even WaPo, in a random act of reporting, wrote about it:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.b7f25e87ecf3

And thanks for your concern but since you know nothing about my work schedule your concerns are misplaced.
