When she stated:
People of her ilk (like Coulter, Limbaugh, OReilly, etc...) have being saying crazy, racist, hateful stuff for decades. But they were invited on the Sunday morning news shows, or The View, or CNN as if their point of view was legit and mainstream. They should have been ostracized years ago.

(34 posts)Blame the people who put this filth on TV and Radio every day and have drowned the level of discourse in this country in their very own sewer. I spent a few days listening to that Michael Savage, who, I found, is the most horrific of them all. The things he says, the charges he'd make against good people startled me, and I thought I had heard everything in life. To boot, this beast was on a loud FM station in Washington, D.C.
Our nation will become inexorably better when people like Savage, Ingraham, Hannity, Limbaugh and their clones and corporate enablers are shoved into a locked box and silenced for good. Do they even believe what they say, or are the given a platform to invent the most disgraceful polemics for their own profit?

But, her nitwit fans don't know that so she using that as an empty talking point and they'll all stand up and scream "first amendment/censorship". These "experts" on the 2nd amendment have no real idea what the 1st is about.
She does. She's just a cynical opportunist.
