    Political violence can be a big deal, certainly, but "The intolerant left wants to give me a wedgie and shove me into a locker" is not the masterful PR strategy that some appear to have convinced themselves it is.

    Then you expressed yourself in a seriously lax, inappropriate and frankly incendiary way from a church pulpit, not befitting someone who purports to be working as a serious academic. Did you have no regard for the nature of the place nor the reputation of your hosts? @aljhlester
