"ideology" is different from people. To get angry at another person for their beliefs is not the same as getting annoyed at the beliefs themselves. "Toning it down" doesn't mean compromising basic ideas about the negative effects of ideologies.

Violence solves nothing! But being silent in the face of injustice is not useful if it is called "toning it down". Ideologies carried to extremes, what is being done in the current American House of Representatives, does set an atmosphere for violence and "toning it down" will not stop the reprehensible actions of the White Ring.

"Toning it down" is a simplistic device used by those who are in denial about the injustices being served to the American people in the name of jingoistic and propagandistic jargon.

There may be perfectly nice people in the Greedy Old Party and as human- being-people, they need to be treated with respect however as G.O.P. reps they need to be disagreed with and told just how little concern for humanity that they really have.

As Olbermann says, "Hey Boehner, where are the jobs?" This is an issue of ideology not of the Speaker himself.
