... if this had been a Democrat party supporter being violent, it would have been the lead news item for a week (and probably killed the election for that candidate).
Proper usage is "Democratic party" supporter. The only reason I get peeved about this is that the usage you used is yet another example of GOP pollster Frank Luntz and Newt Gingrich's "Language: A Key Mechanism of Control" project, where even refusing to call the party by its proper name is a political tool.

Aside from that, I completely agree with you.
