Okay, why not.

Opinion: After baseball attack, the hate in politics has got to go

Nice. Another petulant foot-stomping 10%-er hoping he can will people to stop being angry by whining at them long enough.

Meanwhile, town halls, opportunities that should allow for a respectful dialogue between elected officials and voters, have become opposition events where silencing and jeering the politician has become the norm.

...

Since he was elected, many Democrats have continually upped the ante to out-resist each other in opposition to President Trump. Their behavior has created an environment where Democratic lawmakers routinely stoop to foul language in public events. It's also a climate where a comedian and a theater company feel it's somehow acceptable to post gruesome pictures of a decapitated president or stage a Shakespeare classic to envision the assassination of a politician who bears a strong resemblance to Donald Trump.

And are you ready for the "say some bullshit, then immediately walk it back to retain some illusion of credibility" slam dunk?

And in this case, where the shooter appears to have been a volunteer for Bernie Sanders, Democrats too have some soul-searching to do. Senator Sanders has strongly condemned the suspect, and he is right that "violence of any kind is unacceptable in our society."

Yeah that's right. Take it all in. And finally our beloved author identifies the real issue in our society that is more important than the pointless, politically-motivated, completely unnecessary suffering and death of millions of people: people saying mean things.

On the far ends of the political spectrum, invective and hate -- or a blind "us versus them" tribal mentality -- stand above reason and debate. Those voices gain prominence and followers as the media incentivize them to go further by giving them airtime and clicks.

Our nation faces many challenges, but healing our divisions may be our biggest one. More than Obamacare, tax reform, ISIS or our national debt, this rhetoric, and the divisions it causes, directly constrains our ability to tackle other issues.

We know what we will do today. We will pray and we will come together. But what we do tomorrow is even more important. A successful, bi-partisan Congressional Baseball Game sounds like a perfect way to start.
