No. What I am saying is that I find the current rise in right wing violence more troubling right now than what the left wing has done in the past. What is past is past. What is going on right now is an issue that needs to be addressed. How much clearer do I need to be?

ETA: Perhaps the problem is that there is an assumption that I am making a left vs right argument. I am not. It's simply that the violent talk and actions that concern me at the present time happen to be coming from the right. If the sides were reversed, I would be just as concerned.
