You realize this is going to get worse

[Doctor_J]

After Limbecile Tim McVeigh killed a bunch of innocents in OKC, it got worse. Today's onslaught of propaganda should wake everyone up to the fact that scorn and indignation are not going to halt the progress of Radio Rwanda. Just saying, all of our handwringing and petition signing isn't going to do anything to take the country back from Beck & Limpballs.

[Initech]

1. The fact that they're playing victim only solidifies their guilt.

I know bully mentality, and the Fux crowd isn't any different.

[Cid_B]

40. If she drowns she was a good Christan woman...

If she comes to the surface she is a witch and we shall burn her alive...

Great reasoning...

[fascisthunter]

2. I Think Hatred of the Left is being Fanned by the Media Itself

their pundits who are actively making us look at fault, while egging on sick people to to violently attack us. Remember the lady that got her head stomped on... remember how that was treated in the media. They acted as if it was only fair to let the other side spin what everyone could already see for themselves by watching a YouTube clip.

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Not all in the media

remember Tweety was pretty shaken, and so were both KO and RM.

[fascisthunter]

10. no, Not All the Media

let me get that straight... but too many and only one is sometimes enough.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Of course, but the only glimmer of hope

is that NOT all the media has gone there.

That is the ONLY glimmer of hope, though realize I listened to Rush today... and it was not funny.

I haven't heard him in years. He's gotten better and NOT in a good way.

[Doctor_J]

14. Yeah, that makes 3 up against 1000 or so haters

Guess who's going to win that battle.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. It used to be zero

[brewens]

3. You are probably right there. If they back off, moderates won't

suddenly start listening and stay glued to their shows all day. If the hate radio stars cool it, they lose listeners and money.

[Shandris]

4. I remember hearing somewhere that the buildup of hate between...

...two different groups was how Rwanda started. I wish I could remember where, because it was a very powerful message. But at any rate, even if the US doesn't turn into Rwanda -- and I don't think it will, that's pretty damn unlikely -- I do think it will get much worse before it EVER gets better.

[Doctor_J]

16. Actually the genocide in Rwanda was promted by Radio Rwanda,

hich had much the same tone a talk radio in this country. So yes, that's where we're headed.

[Shandris]

20. Yeah, that's exactly what it was. It was the talk radio comparison that...

...made it stick in my head, particularly since I was, at one time, a rabid right-winger and hate radio listener myself.

Thank you so much for the link, also, I never actually got to ~read~ the story, just that part that I had heard.

[JuniperLea]

5. The RW is pointing fingers and making excuses...

My first thought is that they will absolutely tone things down now. But after hearing them all play the blame game instead of taking responsibility, I believe you are correct. Sadly.

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Yep, I was hopping this morning

but Rush raised the volume... so yes, it is going to get much worst, as in soon, relatively soon, civil war worst. hot civil war worst.

[Hardrada]

12. Not in the Midwest. We never get that excited about anything.

If things come apart we will just calmly join Canada and retain our tranquillity thereby.

[Doctor_J]

17. It might be time to GET excited about something

unless you think living in Rwanda in the 1990's was fun.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. Civil wars by definition are not civil and

are not started by a majority either. Time to realize that Amendment 10 solutions will not work in this case.

Oh and I suggest you go here... and check who does not think you should join Canada

http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/hate-map

Yes, they are your neighbors

[Hardrada]

25. SPLC. Paranoid bosh.

They see a Nazi behind very tree. We quit sending them money ages ago.

[formercia]

30. Not so

I call bullshit on your assumption.

[Hardrada]

33. As you please. No one can save you from your delusions

apparently.

[formercia]

35. I think you're projecting

You do know what that means, don't you, or do I have to explain it to you?

[Hardrada]

37. Of course I have studied abnormal psychology. I apply it daily

and find it useful in this exchange of "ideas" with you.

[formercia]

41. Ho Hum, I'm bored.

Garden variety reactionaries just don't do it for me any more, but thanks for keeping the thread kicked.

[Hardrada]

42. It is not reactionary to attempt some enlightenment of the pre-programmed

butgo ahead and be about your certainly important duties.

[nadinbrzezinski]

39. Not quite, but you are free to think so

[Raschel]

7. BUT, if the politicians are afraid for their lives, they may want the gun theme of Palin and the tea

party to stop. Saving their own butts may be something they finally care about.

[Doctor_J]

13. Republicans don't fear for their lives

Boner is in no danger. Hate got him to 3rd in line for the presidency. Why would he want it to stop?

Hate, fear, and threats got the Repukes a House majority and 20 state legislatures uncontested. Why would they ant it to stop?

[progressoid]

9. The victims haven't even had a funeral yet and the rw gasbags are already pumped up.

This ain't gonna be pretty.

[stray cat]

18. It does not have to - we can choose to see the common humanity and vulnerability

That unites regardless of politics

[Tsiyu]

22. WE can....but they appear unable to

Can you imagine someone so heartless as Tina King, Palin fan, posting on Palin's Facebook page this weekend that "It's ok" that nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green was murdered in cold blood because "she might have grown up to be a liberal?" And equating that poor dead baby to HITLER?

AND PALIN LEFT THE COMMENT UP!!!!!

WE can tone it down, but apparently there are people like Tina King who can't even find one shred of compassion for a dead child and her grieving family.

There is no reasoning with that sort of death fetish, with that desire to see my children and grandchildren murdered in cold blood so "they don't grow up to be liberals."

WE can be as prim as finishing school graduates but we can't force Teabaggers and conservatives to give up their murderous fantasies.

Sorry.

[AsahinaKimi]

31. That QUOTE should get maxium exposure in the press..

"It's ok. Christina Taylor Green was probably going to end up a left wing bleeding heart liberal anyway. Hey, as 'they' say, what would you do if you had the chance to kill Hitler as a kid? Exactly." ~Tina King

Maybe send it to KO so she can get worst person in the world. This statement made me so angry..well I don't even want to tell you what I was thinking. The woman who made this quote should be investigated and have a Psychiatric exam, pronto.

[Doctor_J]

24. Then you need to prepare for a lifetime in fear

because if you choose to continue to pooh-pooh these insane killers, they will continue to kill and terrorize.

[Taverner]

21. Yes - and uglier

[MH1]

23. "Radio Rwanda" - nice to know I'm not the only one who sees it that way

although I wish neither Radio Rwanda ever existed.

[donheld]

26. I'm totally afraid you're right

[Doctor_J]

27. I am certain of it

And the thing that I am afraid of is that we will just let them do it. Again and again.

[EstimatedProphet]

28. Yes, it is

You can't keep turning up the heat on a pot without it boiling over eventually.

[AsahinaKimi]

29. When these gun nuts go over the edge

They take out everyone. That means more children and innocents will be in the crossfire. They want to water the tree of liberty with blood, even if it means young kids and seniors. They are the death panels.

[StarburstClock]

32. Yes it will, unless the U.S. decides to hold war criminals accountable

That would send the signal that the age of corruption is over and law has returned to the U.S.. Tom DeLay got a 3 year sentence, that's a start.

[reformist2]

34. The RW machine is always loudest when they have just been proven wrong.

It's an excellent method to keep the flock from bolting.

[Hubert Flottz]

36. I wonder if AFN is still broadcasting RushBo to the troops...

on our dime?

[EFerrari]

38. I'm sorry it's too late to rec. Yes, this will get worse.

We passed the tipping point sometime during the 2008 campaign, imo.
