This is what bugs me. Advocating violence against someone who is basically condemning violence against minorities. Granted he seems naive in this belief and the way he has taken this stand but it is a very important part of our American Dream to be able to voice our concerns under the US and State Constitutions. In many countries, some of which we have fought wars against partially for how they condemned independent thinking, it is hard to really speak what is in your heart without facing grace consequences. The same kind of authoritarian thinking is creeping into the US discourse and it scares me quite a bit. If you do not like what I say then I will harm you in some way kind of approach. The same kind of crap you found at the start of Nazism and Mussolini's Italy and Stalin's Russia. And there is nothing remotely Christian about it.
