"Denying that the Right mobilizes group hatred or apportioning blame across the political spectrum -- such as the bland MoveOn petition calling for all Congress members and TV pundits to end 'all overt and implied threats of violence' or Keith Olbermann's 'we need to put the gun metaphors away and permanently. Left, right, middle' -- only lets the Right off the hook for instigating violence." -- Arun Gupta, 2011-01-12

Depends on whether your objective is to improve matters or punish people. I don't give a damn about "letting the Right off the hook" if I can have a halt to the insanity.
