I realized my feelings about Palin and the ilk...

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

.. wasn't that I wanted them to SHUT UP with the violent rhetoric....

.. I simply want people to stop EMBRACING people who live on that type of 'communication'...

I don't care if it's current RW politicians, TPrs who can't spel or bathe, or Arryan Brotherhoods, or the KKK,
or Ted Rall, or Kryzinski or WHOEVER...............

I want intelligent caring people from all walks of life to just STOP LISTENING.

We've never paid attention to loonies that the SPLC name. Doubt we even have heard of most of them.
Has ANYone heard from a KKK member lately?

They can have their voice.

THEY DESERVE NO AUDIENCE.


People like these will come and go......... the only way to silence them is by disinterest and disgust.
So ANY post of a Lefty 'doing the same thing' just come back and ask them 'and how big is/was their audiennce and how many people paid attention to him?'

And if wishes were horses................ I know.

1. If just one percent of the popoulation listen that is 3 million people...

We must do more than ignore these people. We must stand up to them and oppose them with our own voices.

The language of violence must not be tolerated, becasue there will always be some fragile minded person who will act on the demons investing his feavered imagination.

3. ... oh, I'm onboard with that! Just had a moment there.

... but some of it came back to 'they all do it'.

And saw some of the posts from the Left's over-the-top-rhetoric.

It seemed to be few and far between and if it was ever muttered, it was never much repeated...

.. and if it was repeated, nobody paid it any attention and it passed into yesterday.


Why isn't the RW as interested in what's beyond the scope of civility.

[Ozymanithrax]

5. Because they are invested in the imagined rightness of their message...

and feel justified by their words.

8. So then, would it ever be possible to actually stop the rhetoric?

At best, we can demand better from our political and national leaders and remain vigilant.

10. If they are removed from power, and realize that the language of violence...

keeps them from power, maybe.

2. Yes, the right to free speech doesn't presume an audience for that speech. n/m

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

4. .. so in some repects, those that UPHOLD these types..

... share in some culpability.

???? (i think so)

[IntravenousDemilo]

6. Yep. n/m

7. The 4th Estate has failed the American people and this is one

of the area's that must be fixed.

The 4th Estate has made the TeaParty what it is, remember 100 people would show up to a TeaParty rally and it was all over the MSM. When 100, 000 people showed up for a Liberal rally not a peep, the MSM even focused on the 20 TeaPartiers that were there.

9. I think I've said similar myself...

... sigh.
