Hiding behind 1st Amend, RW religionists have incited violence against all they oppose: Obama, LGBTQ, atheists, Muslims... all in the name of their 'peaceful' Christianity. It would be tough to find a stronger proponent of 1stA than I, but too often, Dobson, Fischer & their ilk spout the equivalent of 'fire!' in a crowded theater.

Another reply hit on the big danger: isolated cases of violence that don't get back to the wide-spread hate mongerers; as if the perpetrators weren't aware that their violence was condoned by the vocal screeds of so-called Christian leaders
