Reply from Victor Davis Hanson:<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
Dear Second-time Angry Reader Daniel Weir,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And if we we\u2019re not 3,000 miles apart, you would do what exactly if you saw me? Resort to physical violence?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the polarized age of assassination chic and threats against the president and an actual hit on Rep. Scalise, do you really think it is wise to threaten publicly someone with whom you disagree?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0I get a few letters and angry calls like your own, and occasionally a few mad sorts have shown up at my office or farm or follow me around in stores, so your sort of threat is not new.<\/div>\n
