The Huffington Post does American history.

A shiny notional silver dollar to the reader who spots the sentence that literally, physically made me laugh so hard I fell over into the wall a little bit and hit my head.

Well, the first candidate I came to is "The Revolutionary War, the Civil War and World War II were all led by progressives...."
(Also, Tulsa isn't "North" by most standards and there's a form/from typo.)
Those were my first and second-place winners, yep. The revolutionaries were progressives -- if you can write that sentence and not feel like slapping yourself, you can write for the Huffington Post.
Anyway, Barbara Lee and Henry Knox? Birds of a feather. It's a shame we don't have time machines, because those two would have so much to say to each other.
And the CIvil War, man, that was led by progressives. If William Tecumseh Sherman were alive today, he'd guest blog at Daily Kos.
I think you're leaving out the anti-punchline: "you don't get much more violent than a war"
It's also good to see a reference to that renowned symbol of Southern bigotry, Bill Connor.
