Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, September 01, 2026

When a leftist turns violent, Democratic politicians and their media allies offer a familiar response: yes, this is terrible, but right-wing violence is the greater threat. They have made that claim for decades, and it has always rested on a dubious premise. The premise depends on statistics compiled by advocacy groups that exclude a vast catalog of left-wing violence"from the George Floyd riots to murders committed by pro-Palestinian activists and attacks on synagogues, Catholic churches, Tesla dealerships, and ICE facilities. Meanwhile, conservatives are routinely held responsible for the actions of violent loners, drug dealers, and conspiracy theorists with no coherent political program. Deranged anti-Semites, racists, incels, and antigovernment extremists get classified as right-wing, even when their targets span both parties.

LGH,

I'd love to see you say that crap to anyone in person. You'd get your ass kicked. But you are an internet coward who hides behind a keyboard.

I have to side with Ballwasher on this one.

Legallyyourdead is a total POS with nothing but vicious and unnecessary comments about political murders and other frankly disgusting things. Like telling other posters to "kill themselves".

He's A Trumper in spirit if not in practice. A Morally Depraved Person like Trump himself.

We don't need Assholes like that,they are Counterproductive to getting ANYTHING done.

Killfile that Prick. He's a waste of Space.

Fascists are by very definition violent.

I'm not sure why any of them bother to cast stones.

The only difference between LYD and MAGA Drudge Retort pukes (like balldinger) is political persuasion. Two sides of the same coin.

If you're gonna plonk LYD based on his moral depravity, following that same standard, you should plonk every Trumper on this site.

When a leftist turns violent

You mean the Wether Underground from the 1960s?

Or the nonexistent Antifa?

Fact is, rightwing violence is common across the world.

Conservatives are generally ignorant. Being dumb is a value they hold dear. Violence is their first, and last, resort to any worldview they disagree with.

The more conservative a country, the more likely they are to be authoritarian.

Every conservative nation on earth is a miserable hell hole.

#7 So killfile Me.

If you feel the need.

I never killfile anyone. But I understand why others do.

If robust difference of Opinion bothers you, cultivate a "Safe Space".

That's what Pussies and Totalitarians do.

Effetepustule is a crippled, orc-loving gash.

Referring to Russians as Orcs shows the level of Stupid you display.

The Invasion was a huge Strategic Mistake.

I have never said otherwise.

Check the archives. Putin is a War Criminal.

But feeding a War for no reason other than to Maximize the loss of life is Cynical and idiotic.

Kind of like giving Israel all the Arms they need to kill Palestinians and complete "Greater ISRAEL".

Biden and Trump were and are, Both, all in on Stupid.

I Don't approve of the whole,"Let's you and Him Fight" foreign Policy.

You're too Dim a Bulb to understand that.

That's from 4 years ago.

It's also propaganda.

Just because I don't support arming Ukraine doesn't mean I do support Raping children.

That's a logical fallacy.
