Did any of you catch Bill Moyers on PBS tonight? Had a special on Hate Talk Radio.

It was pretty good. Had some interesting info about Unitarian Universalist church-shooter Jim D. Adkisson, that unemployed trucker who decided to "kill as many liberals" as he could before the cops could shoot him down.

Too bad the right-wing radio shock jocks can't be charged with "hate crimes" for spurring people like him into action! :mad: Listening to Glenn Beck, Neal Boortz, and Michael Savage compare liberals to "cockroaches" and the like is really sickening...

1. Did it mention the RTLM?

2. Yes, he did in fact.

Pointed out how THEY used the term "cockroaches" too!

From that link I posted:

If you look at the history of like-- situations like in Rwanda in 1994, the talk radio was a big part of leading to the conditions that created a genocide. The Hutu radio disc jockeys would call the Tutsi cockroaches. There's the sense that these aren't human beings. You know, they're not human beings with children or grandchildren. These are cockroaches. And when you hear in talk radio that liberals are evil, that they are traitors, that they are godless, that they are on the side of the terrorist-- that's hate language. You don't negotiate with evil people. You don't live in community with people you consider to be traitors.

3. We saw him, here in Knoxville, TN, on Friday night. Awesome show, as usual.

5. Oh, and I almost forgot.

Glenn Beck classic:

GLENN BECK: I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out of him. Is this wrong?

6. Micheal Moore would kick the shit out of this pasty faced

mother fucker...

7. It's high past time to shut these people down through media re-regulation

and corporate divestment.

9. Rec + 6 We need a Moyers Forum if there isn't one.

11. Very good job...

I am absolutely amazed at the hate that comes out of these people's mouths. I always knew Savage was a piece of shit but I was still in awe at some of his comments.

The worst part about all of this to me, is these assholes somehow have large Christian followings. Maybe I read the wrong Bible but I never knew hate and apathy were lessons taught by Jesus.


Then again I'm an atheist, liberal cockroach so maybe that's why I don't get it.
