This Adkisson guy is going to be a hero to millions of Americans


He did what millions of homophobic, xenophobic, racists fantasize about doing every day of their lives. We can only hope that the number of them inspired to act by him remains low.

1. I agree
If the economy and job situation get worse - which I believe it will, they will be coming out of the woodwork. It's scary.

2. Yeah, well I hear Adolf Hitler is a hero to many as well.

Goes without saying really.

17. Imagine all the members of the Aryan Nation, in prison and out of prison.
Imagine that each one them has friends on the outside who agree with them.

There are hundreds of thousands of these people out there who absolutely would kick in the skull of some progressive if they ever thought they could get away with it. This guy in Tennessee was a dead ender who decided to go out in a blaze of glory. He'll be treated like a GOD in prison why the white supremacists.

3. We can hope that the many freepers praising his actions will be satisfied
(as they usually are) with vicarious delight.

9. Maybe this will help a few people wake up.

One of these days, a lot of people are going to have to wake up and realize the problem with their life is not caused by their neighbor. But by their master.

Certain people benefit from racial tensions. It keeps people distracted from what is actually causing their problems.

People are mad at India for taking our jobs. They didn't take our jobs. Our jobs were sent there by somebody here.

People are mad at Mexicans for coming here for our jobs. How do they get hired? It seems to me that companies are willing to create an employment market by paying under minimum wage. It's not the Mexican's fault for taking the job, it's the company's fault for not creating the fully paid job and advertising it.

I will never understand what scares people about homosexuals. I don't understand why there is any person anywhere that thinks two people getting married has any effect on their marriage. Or the whole "fine, they can have a union, but no marriage."

Everybody is distracted by little stuff in their head rather than actually working towards fixing the big problems.

10. life continues to cheapen at an alarming rate.......
shotgun shells, and bullets....how much are they? I don't think fiction writers could paint what this country is turning into now, soon you won't be able to leave your home or business without a holster and a gun, and fucking be ready to use it aiming to kill. oh, the pride we should all have in amerika!

12. I think McCain should be asked to publically denounce this act
of terrorism and ask all right-wingers to reject it.

If the shoe were on the other foot, I've no doubt Obama would be expected to do just that.

15. I hope not.
As must as I disagree with conservatives I would at least like to give them enough credit that they would recognize how seriously wrong this is.

18. Turn on wingnut radio...
Listen for the denunciations of what this man did.

Turn your radio and your hearing aid up to "11" though, the denunciations might slip by you otherwise.

16. Oh, he already is. You can be sure of that.
Hate Radio depends on angry listeners, many of whom act on their violent feelings. Most do not end up killing someone, but some do. Many of them do try to run people off the road, beat up people, and otherwise act on violent tendencies.
