Will the radio hate speechers tamp it down in the face of the three acts of domestic terrorism that occurred in the last few days?

I say they won't.

And so the hate spew will continue.

I am also willing to bet the law enforcement people are taking all this shit VERY seriously. I am willing to bet their cyber snoops are all OVER these right wing sites just like they're all over the middle eastern hate sites. And, for that matter, the left wing wackadoodle sites, such as they exist.

Without some huge expense, though - or some new laws that I simply cannot endorse - I can't see how a guy like today's shooter can be stopped.

I DO think its long past time to make this kind of speech unacceptable. And 'this kind of speech' is spewed endlessly by people paid to talk on the radio. Oh sure, they all have rationales and raps as to why **they're** not haters. But they are. They foment this stuff and by endlessly talking about it, they make it acceptable. Mainstream. Okie Dokie.

This HAS to end.

1. My thoughts are with the family and also enforcement

I hope they can scour the sites for past postings including the postings that have been scrubbed. The shark was jumped long ago. It's long past time for action by law to put a stop to the incitement.

11. "Incitement"

That's an exactly appropriate word.

2. Guns and ammo are flying off the shelves at gun stores...

And it ain't liberals doing the buying...

:scared:

Guns + Hate Speech + Economic Depression

This will NOT end well....

[Xenotime]

3. Agreed. This is a hate induced rage fueled by the RW radio media.

This is domestic terrorism.

4. The power of the Patriot Act should be wielded on their asses. nm

5. It's not just them

Sarah Palin did her own brand of hatred encouragement during her quest last year.

Then we have Newt, Tancredo, etc with their racist rhetoric.

There's Perry in Texas whooping up the fringe with cessation talk.

Mix in Jon Voight calling our president a false prophet ...

Both the House & Senate in 2007 was quick to condemn Move-On over the Petreas ad. Yet, elected Republicans remain silent letting others throw the stones while they appear above the fray. I interpret their silence as approval in stirring things up.

There's so much dangerous hatred out there - I can't articulate my thoughts. I can barely finish this post. It upsets me too much.

7. You're absolutely right

12. The high profile right wingers give them the impression that their hate is mainstream

6. Seeds Sown In McCain/Palin Campaign

You could feel this type of thing in the air during the Palin rallies with the Obama=Terrorist crap. You could feel it in the rhetoric of Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh. You could feel it swirling around at the teabagging parties with their cries of revolution and in seeing the tinfoil hats who emerged to declare that the federal government is controlling the populace's mind via digital cable boxes.

The right wing has taken very self conscious measures to appeal to these fuckers and then get pissed off when Homeland Security has the audacity to suggest that extreme right wing hate crimes and domestic terrorism is on the rise.

My friend has the theory that maybe they are trying to stir up these people so someone may lose it and go and kill Obama. I don't know if i would go that far, but this hate rhetoric, this implying that Obama is a terrorist and that the congress is a pack of vampires...what do these assholes think is going to happen?

[Stinky The Clown]

8. Two things that remain, to me, emblematic of that time ......

The shouts of "Kill Him" and that crazy fucking lady at the McCain rally.

Palin is fucking DANGEROUS.

[madamesilverspurs]

10. And McCain's response to the crazy woman

was pathetically wimpy at best. Unsurprising, given his own history of racial invective. McCain/Palin can truthfully claim that they didn't wear hooded robes at their rallies; but they cannot assert that they didn't rely on racial fears to bolster their numbers.
