The Right Wing Media Has Blood On Their Hands

Last Thursday night, John Russell Houser opened fire in a Louisiana movie theater, killing two people and wounding nine. Investigations by law enforcement of the shooter’s online activities reveal the picture of an alienated outsider whose hatred for people of color, Jews, liberals, gays and others was fueled over a period of decades.

For years, we’ve been seeing incident after incident in which right-wing crazies are taking their aggression out on innocents. Looking at the bigger picture, however, it’s easy to see that the right wing media’s constant spewing of hatred is just as much at fault.

Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.

for some sort of murder charge of Dr. Tiller, for example.

Overall, the very scary thing is there are so many people out there, I mean SO many, who hold these contemptuous views, who harbor tremendous fear of and hatred of liberals and minorities, gays, etc.

These are people who arent functioning the way most evolved brains function.

...Republican candidates. Yes, Bill O'Reilly called for the killing of "Tiller the Baby Killer!" Also, to compare President Obama and Adolf Hitler encourages a violent act on the President, courtesy of Gov. and FOX TV favorite Mike Huckabee.
