Why do leftists vilify and demonize?

That's not true.

This is a generalization and I don't agree.

Calling Democrats "lefists", "socialists", and even "liberals" is also a form of demonizing. Likewise stating all Democrats demonize gun owners or even caring about this Abu-Jamal.

So your question has two false premises, which is why the question can not be answered.

ALL politicians do that, silly. To "vilify and demonize" is page one in the political playbook. And if you do not think that, then you probably think they actually care about us more than getting reelected.

EDIT: Scotty-boy, this is not a legitimate question. You already have your mind made up, get off your soap box and quit being so partisan.

you have to understand, abooboo jamal didn't WANT to use a gun to kill a police officer. he was a victim of the culture in America that says you have to shoot everyone and everything you see which was fostered by the greedy republinazis at the NRA who want to sell more guns.

you see, this is why it is important to get an education so that you understand what is happening in the world, instead of just believing whatever the republicans tell you.

But watch and see who they run to for protection when there isn't a woman around for them to hide behind
