First of all, it was ~~Massachusetts~~ (edit: damn, I apparently can't tell m-states apart either), not Michigan (although some articles claim he was planning to target some Michigan politicians too).
Second, that's proving my point, not refuting it. The assertion I was challenging was that it was in "our" (i.e. leftist, or at least liberal) repertoire too, but what you cited was the common case of a right-winger targeting progressives, not the other way around.
It was state representative Melissa Hortman who was assassinated and she was from Minnesota not Massachusetts.
ah, my bad. i thought you were making a general statement about political violence in america not actually reaching the politicians themselves
