The Daily Caller, that ass wipe propaganda site, published an opinion column yesterday explicitly calling for violence in response to mild physical confrontations with conservatives. You know, the violence they so often imply! Via The New York Times:

The column, written by editor at large Geoffrey Ingersoll and promoted near the top of the site, argues that “patriots” should use force because law enforcement officials do not adequately protect conservatives, including Charlie Kirk, the activist assassinated this month.

“Is this a call for violence?” the third paragraph says. “Yes. Explicitly it is.”

“I want blood in the streets,” he added in the column, which ran with the headline “Enough Is Enough … I Choose VIOLENCE!”

The headline on a Daily Caller Opinion column that reads “INGERSOLL: Enough Is Enough … I Choose VIOLENCE!”

[...] Mr. Ingersoll also lays out specific situations in which he says violence should be used. If a progressive activist takes a sign away at a public debate, “She gets instantly clotheslined,” Mr. Ingersoll wrote. “I don’t care if police are present. Do it anyway. In fact, be wildly disproportionate.”

“Measure it in blood if necessary,” he added. “Change requires pain, and you’re either taking it or inflicting it.”

Dylan Housman, his boss, said that any attempt to paint Ingersoll’s column as a call for political violence “is totally dishonest,” adding that The Daily Caller would “never publish someone calling for violence simply over political disagreement.”

Gee, Dylan, while you're at it, why not piss on my leg and tell me it's raining? This isn't new for the Caller, they've been trying to portray MAGATs as the victims for a long time.
