It was pretty obvious that leftists were getting really upset about the “Jobs vs. Mobs” narrative that was forming around the midterm elections. What, just because they’d recorded themselves harassing GOP senators at restaurants and cornering them in elevators to scream at them, people thought they were an angry mob?
We don’t know much about the bombs that were reported on Wednesday other than whoever sent them is evil and needs to be stopped.
But Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas seemed happy to have the chance to turn the tables and blame right-wingers for being the true “fountain of terrorism”:
For all the talk about “the mob”, it is the Right that is a fountain of terrorism, from McVeigh, to the George Tiller murder, to Heather Heyer in Charlottesville, to the Proud Boys, to strutting around with assault rifles.

And lest we forget the NRA.

Yes, the NRA.
Odd definition of "Right" you have there.

First of all, “strutting around with assault rifles” (presumably taking your AR-15 to the range) is not terrorism. And second, we think Moulitsas missed some news coverage between Timothy McVeigh in 1995 and the Proud Boys in 2018.

You forgot the guy who shot a bunch of GOP congressmen. How odd

Yeah, that was our first thought too.
The congressional shooter says hello. https://t.co/yBw4rxT13e

Number of tweets from Markos about possible Ricin letters sent to @SenatorCollins house? Zero

For all the talk about "the mob", it is the left that is a fountain of terrorism, from James Hodgkinson, to the stabbing of Rudy Peters, to Antifa strutting around with bombs and weapons
— Bretts Doppleganger (@Mike__Head) October 24, 2018
Hey, if Moulitsas gets to cherry-pick, then it might be all right for conservatives to do the same. Or we could just condemn all of it.
Nice try, Markos.

Strutting around is perhaps the most blatant example of right-wing violence.

And yet somehow liberals are still able to speak on college campuses without interruption or the need for beefed up security. STFU, you moron.

Unabomber was a lefty. So was the mass shooter at the baseball field. Oh and the guy who JUST SENT RICIN TO TRUMP OFFICIALS LAST WEEK
— Scout (@Scout45606528) October 24, 2018
Last month a man attacked a GOP congressional candidate with a switchblade. Oh, and there's last year's baseball practice. Don't ever miss an opportunity to remind everyone what an ignominious hack you are.
— Chris (@chrimyer) October 24, 2018
I'm sure Farzad Vincent Fazeli still feels stabby, Markos. You know the guy who was arrested for trying to kill GOP Congressional candidate Rudy Peters a few months ago. pic.twitter.com/V5rBWJHOOr

The people that sent ricin to the Pentagon, shot Republicans playing baseball, and antifa would like a word

Interesting, are you saying you know who did this? You’re also reaching mighty far back…Timothy McVeigh huh? That all you got? Let’s not start comparing list. pic.twitter.com/aZUCtJPJ3L

Reminder: This is the same Markos Moulitsas who, when four Americans were tortured and burned alive in Fallujah by terrorists, happily chirped "I feel nothing over the death of merceneries…Screw them." https://t.co/1tZHkt3O7d

This must be a big deal for Markos to come out and speak.
He's wrong of course, but we let him speak anyway. https://t.co/NVsq4mBJhP

Moulitsas has already made his stance crystal clear.
