Thread Name: BS: responding to 'hate speech'
Subject: RE: BS: responding to 'hate speech'
Carol C, you beat me to it. But George Carlin beat us both. He predicted 6 years ago ... "I fully expect disgruntled worshippers are going to start shooting up their church".
I listen to almost an hour of hate speech a week courtesy of WMAL radio. I think you would be amazed at the insipid hateful vile damnable lies they repeat to incite people to violence. I've told you I have a neighbor who believes it all and feels the need to murder gays before they murder his family. If you saw him you would think he is perfectly normal but if you looked more carefully he displays a tremor in his hands that appears to be the result of inner personal angst.
There are people on a short fuse and respond to the hypnotic repeatition of actual orders to kill the sick liberal unhuman and ungodly traitors to America by radio shock jocks like Limbaugh and his wannabes.
After another violent murder by a right wing true believer that actually quoted Rush Limbaugh as an authority, Rush made a semi retraction of his standing order to attack liberals and asked his aucience to settle down a bit.
Some of the Clear Channel propoganda seemed to me to be an experiment to see what works best in support of a social uprising and coup. The question was how far can we go and secondly how far would we need to go.
