Apparently, there have been several riots erupting across France as the result of Sarkozy’s election win. Why does it seem that all the political violence comes from the Left? You saw it at Columbia University when Left wing protesters rushed the stage shutting down a speech by a member of the Minutemen and causing a scuffle. We saw it just a few weeks ago when Left wing activists threw rocks and other projectiles at Karl Rove’s car following his speech at American University. Conservative pundits such as Ann Coulter and David Horowitz have been attacked while speaking in public. Several Bush campaign offices were vandalized during his reelection bid.

You simply don’t observe this behavior from right wing or conservative groups, yet violent actions are becoming increasingly common by the Left throughout the western world. These same people who claim to cherish free speech and the exchange of ideas under the guise of liberalism are simultaneously undermining those freedoms with their own actions. Their behavior is Stalinist. You frequently hear right wing politicians and commentators state that the Left is just as patriotic as the Right; they just have different views. I think the Right needs to stop fooling themselves and start calling a spade a spade.
