Some threw tomatoes to support the wife of fallen Philly police officer Daniel Faulkner. Others may throw eggs at a local campaign office. Some will go so far as to rush a stage attempting to put a pie in Ann Coulter's face.
Civil discourse has many forms.
Some take a sledgehammer to a car in the parking lot at Lincoln Financial Field to show their opinion of the Dallas Cowboys. Sure it's a violent form of civil discourse, but no one gets hurt.
Commonwealth Foundation has an article about the civil discourse of 2nd Amendment supporters who want to take aim at an old car, covered in anti-freedom slogans, with their (brace yourself) guns.
Shocking, I know.
But that's nothing compared to the reaction by the left, who would have you believe this kind of discourse is dangerous. 'Right-wing-nut-jobs', that's what Alan Colmes believes these people are. Joe Hoeffel (progressive) says they can't talk straight while hoping they shoot straight. Keith Olbermann thinks they lack an ability to read.

Well said! I make it a point to, at least, TRY to listen to opposing positions because I think that a healthy thing. When all I hear are derogatory comments and insults, I'm left cold. Whatever happened to true statesmen? To real debate?
As for shooting up junk autos? May your aim be true, my friends!
