Why is it that when Neo-conservative Republican Media Whores can....
...threaten murder and death on their ideological enemies that they can get away with it with out any retribution from their peers or most of the mainstream media?

Example: Bill Reilly and Ann Coulter.

I think they should get grilled for these veiled death threats.


Now, I don't want anybody on the left to get shot or killed, but don't you think that it is just a matter of time before some right-wing schizo nut-job tries to kill a liberal media personality on the que of Bill O' Reilly, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, etc....?

And they, the right-wing media, wonder why we call the AM dial Right-Wing Hate Radio.

1. I wonder the same thing.
How can we have laws against death threats, libel, slander, and hate speech, but let these people say anything they want?

2. Limbaugh encouraged Timothy McVeigh
to reduce the size of government. Of course, the fat ass who hides behind his microphone takes no responsibility for his actions. He is a conservative. Conservatives are not held responsible for their actions. Hate radio gives solace to people who blow up abortion clinics and kill doctors. Conservatives waive the flag with one overriding goal - to dismantle the constituion so people like me and you can't communicate.

7. 1) Bill O "Reilly...
Edited on Thu Feb-05-04 04:17 PM by Homer12
...A few days ago Bill O' Reilly said that he wanted to Kill Micheal Moore, then he said he was just joking.
There are plenty of posts on DU about this, just go search.

2) Ann Coulter in one of her books said that she wished that the 9/11 hijackers should have took out The New York Times instead. As well as her Book "Treason", which if taken to it's obvious logical conclusion that all of us on left should be executed for the "Crime of Treason".

3) Mike Savage with his Gay/Aids comment that he wished all people like that caller would die. He did get canned by MSNBC at least for his hate filled rant. Yet, he still has a following and a radio show on hate-radio.

4) I'm sure there are more threats, but all of those posters on Free Republic can't get a radio show or a TV show as it is, since it is a saturated hate radio/tv market.
