This is how deranged and dangerous the Democratic Party and leftwing has become. Historically, the more power socialists gain, the more they engage in the tactic of terrorizing and attacking people, that if unchecked leads to genocide and war. For example, at no time were more than 10% of Germans Nazis, but Nazis took over by tactics now used by the Democratic Party and leftwing socialists.

The threats come from right wingers who read about him in right wing media sources like Daily Caller and Breitbart

There is so much failure in your post it that is hard to know where to start. Where is the alleged media bias? Why are the actions of a few morons making (so far empty) threats attributed to that alleged media bias? No "deranged leftists" within (or supported by) the government have done anything so the analogy to Nazis is not applicable.

No one’s family should be threatened over this.

At the same time I am not surprised that the most extreme have come out and done so anyway after being influenced by whoever grabs a mic.

And it has shown how asinine this whole idea was anyway, using a gofundme page to raise private funds for this wall. The subject of the wall itself has gone off the deep end, and how people have reacted to it is worse.

No wonder we are laughed at as a nation... consistently.

If one truly believes the Great Wall Of Trump to be "immoral" then strong objection, including threats of violence, to it is the expected reaction. That is the inherent down side of government officials (or the media?) using such dopey rhetoric - some nuts will take their words literally and act upon them. After all, we must fight official "immorality" by using any means necessary. It has yet to be explained (or even questioned by the media?) how a double row of fencing topped with razor wire is "moral" yet another form of physical barrier is "immoral".

Airman Kolfage should consider it a badge of honor that Mr. Kimmel and his ilk are abusing him.

Yawn. There's no actual way to rationally correlate the two.

That, and given his record of huckersterism, there's a good chance that no threats actually took place.

$18,529,146 Raised by 306,003 people in 15 days

It was around $17M after 10 days, so that means only $1.5M has been raised in the last 5 days, which is rate of $300K/day - down from an avg of $1.7M/day

At this rate, it will take 3,272 days to raise the $1B, or nearly 10 years and that assumes the donations do not continue to fizzle out.

Damn, I really didn't want to do the math, but I knew it was something like this. How many of these idiots do you think they are half way there???

And that's the rosy scenario because the target is a mere 1/25th of the actual cost of the wall. And yes, that's assuming a steady rate of donations, which is clearly not what's happening.

For on the left, hell would freeze over before they would condemn threats of violence against conservatives. He lost 3 limbs voluntarily fighting for this country against the dangers that the Democratic Party now has become.

The routine of some right-winger idiotically starting a thread about a couple of crazies and then dishonestly acting like it represents "the left" was beaten to death, buried, and has since fossilized.

:yawn:

The right generally don't seem to care about trolls when they target the left or victims of sexual assaults. So why should the left be any different?

Something about a fool and his money?

Maybe not as foolish as you think. If every trump supporter gave $397 to the gofundme page right now, the wall would be funded to the full $25 billion amount. The fact that nothing like that has even remotely happened has a very clear explanation: trump supporters were engaging in every bit the con that Trump was, because they always knew it would be the blue states that would provide the brunt of the funding.

He must forever be referred to as Triple Amputee Hero Veteran (TM) Kolfage from now on. No right-wing hero can be complete without the standard appeal to emotion.

This is not to disparage the man himself, his service or injuries, but the internet and media cult that surrounds such figures.

Jimmy Kimmel didn't attack Brian Kolfage. He spent a minute joking about the gofundme and said starting it was "a waste." He did attack the people donating to it, saying some of them were dipping into their "meth money." Pretty predictable joke. Probably had funnier stuff in his monologue.

So Jimmy Kimmel said this guy was "wasting his time" and that led to death threats? Oh no, President Trump is encouraging death threats for Rex Tillerson!
