But, I don't see how you can argue that it hasn't been ramped up since Obama's been elected. Death threats against the President were up 400% in the first 6 months he was in office. Not to mention all these whackjobs:
First of all, Joseph Stack who crashed his small plane into the Austin IRS building ended his manifesto with:
"The communist creed: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed."
Sounds like a left wing nut job to me.

-Air Assassination
By: Ben Johnson
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, April 28, 2005
Frustrated by six years’ of steady reversals at the polls, the hardcore Left decided this week to foment a real coup de état: they want George W. Bush dead.
The Drudge Report has reported left-wing
Air America Radio aired a spot on Monday threatening to assassinate President Bush for trying to reform Social Security. Network yacker Randi Rhodes played the following “humorous” radio drop during her afternoon drive show:
A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isn’t safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here’s your answer, you ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of 4 gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little bastard. [audio of gun being cocked].....

I could go on and on and on and on. So you can dispense with your BS KY about it being ramped up the last 2 years that Obama's been in office.
Most of the what you listed is vandalism. I'm not defending vandalism or anything.... but, what I listed were VIOLENT acts or conspiracies. Crashing planes into buildings, shooting up museums, assassinations, etc.
