Right Wing Hatred by Carl Pridemore

I have not seen her since our high school days.  We were reunited on Facebook and we caught each other up with our lives.

I learned she was running for office,  as a Democrat, in an Illinois state election.  We discussed many issues.  When I say discussed, I mean discussed, there were no cross words, no hurt feelings.  I think we both were surprised on how many issues we agreed.  Seeing her posting,  I asked if she truly believed the statements.  She replied yes and the part of why she said yes, that struck a chord with me, was, "the anger and hatred and violent actions taken by a vocal minority against Obama..."  Hatred? Violent actions?  What did she mean?  I asked for an example.  Mind you, just one example.  Not a single example was given.  There were others that joined us with their comments on this string.  All but one were agreeing with my friend and spouting their own inaccurate statements.  I extended the offer to whoever would take the challenge, give me proof of these heinous acts.  Educate me.
