"Do you think that what elected officials say can influence their followers to act violently?" Of course they can. Here are some things President Obama said: *If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.* - June 2008. *I want you to go out and talk to your neighbors. I want you to argue with them, get in their faces.* - September 2008. *I don't want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry. I'm angry.* - March 2009. *If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, "We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us," if they don't see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it's gonna be harder, and that's why I think it's so important that people focus on November 2.* - October 2010. And then look at the case of violence directed at tea party and town hall attendees by union thugs and liberal extremists over the last two years.
