WORLD NEWS TRUST: I Dreamed I Had a Bull’s-Eye on My Back (Mary Lyon)

Dear Messers O’Reilly, Hannity, and Savage: Congratulations. You sure did it this time. You’re the New Century answer to J.D. Salinger, now that an admirer/acolyte of yours has gunned down two people and injured several others in a senseless assault at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church. You must be so proud.

"Still seized three books from Adkisson's home, including "The O'Reilly Factor," by television commentator Bill O'Reilly; "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder," by radio personality Michael Savage; and "Let Freedom Ring," by political pundit Sean Hannity."

It reminds me of the chilling correlation between John Lennon’s assassin, Mark David Chapman, and the copy of Salinger’s teenage-alienation novel “The Catcher in the Rye” that Chapman had been reading before he exterminated the musical icon, saying he was living inside that book at that time.

Full disclosure: I am a liberal. I do not apologize for it, because I’m tremendously proud of it. And I know that, having said that, it’s probably open season on me in some corners of the country now.

I’m not advocating censorship -- at least not that which is applied from external sources. I do, however, want to hang this latest massacre around the necks of the Fox News Twin Towers of Intolerance, and their hate-mongering radio pal. This is what screeds like theirs hath wrought, and it’s time somebody said so, directly. If the three of them were standing in front of me, I might be tempted to grab each of these bullies by the shoulders and shake them, and ask them point-blank if they realize what their venomous words are stirring up.
