WNYC is reporting that a Democratic campaign volunteer in a hotly-contested state Senate race in New York has been shot with a pellet gun. The alleged incident took place when the campaign volunteer, working on behalf of state Senator Brian Foley, was putting up campaign signs in Central Islip, New York. Witness claim the shots came from a black pick-up truck adorned with a sign for Foley's opponent, Lee Zeldin. The incident was reported to the New York public radio station by a Democratic campaign operative and hasn't been confirmed by police.

5. i don't know.

but i think maybe. michael moore was on rachel maddow a week or so ago and he mentioned what a violent country we are. i come from los angeles and can attest to that fact. i have a feeling that a lot of street violence is perpetuated by people who never think about politics, don't vote, and probably believe that it makes no difference whether it's a democrat or a republican. when it comes to campaign violence though, i think we've seen that it comes predominantly from the permanently enraged right.

There are murderers and "evil" people - maybe more on the GOP side but our hands are not completely clean.

16. The right wing mind is about fear, fight, flight, and survival. So, yes. eom
