I believe if the Comment rises to the level of what might be considered a paraphrasing of Hate Crime legal definition, then I’d favor your deleting them:
Comments that might place another person(s) or their property in reasonable concern of harm through the use of threatening words and/or other conduct – even without displaying a weapon or subjecting the victim(s) or their property to actual physical attack.

Yo! We’re progressives! We believe in the First Amendment.
We’re also all adults here. We can take it.

I think that you can smack them down.
I voted to allow them, as I have been. However, if I comment ever rose to the level of a specific threat, no matter the politics of whom it threatened, I would not hesitate to contact the authorities. It amazes me that one person actually voted to encourage violence.
As for the policy here, I shall continue to allow violent comments, unless they are directed at readers of this blog, and condemn them strongly.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
