Thread Name: BS: 'Toning it down'...
Subject: RE: BS: 'Toning it down'...
Waking this morning was a sickening experience. I am sick from empathy. Mu body soul and mind are nauseated by the events.

Tone it down is probably a double edged sword. I mentioned that it would be like stopping a super tanker with a quarter of the crew fighting to go full speed ahead.



FOX news is actively fighting the notion of toning it down.
Brit Hume is the spokesperson of this anti tone it down rhetoric.
He reminded us that after the Oklahoma City bombing there was similar calls to censor language but it naturally and rightfully faded away. Juan Williams chimed in and said it would be a good idea to tone it down but he was poo pooed by the other talking heads.

The absolutely WORST comment I heard on FOX came from Gretchen Carlson who said...
"Ms. Giffords DID support tougher immigration laws
BUT,,,she voted for Obamacare which explains why [she was shot in the head] !   

You could physically see everyone getting yelled at in their little ear pieces to hurry up and change the subject when they all stammered as quickly as possible to change the subject in 3 different directions at once. I have in on dvr.


Yes the sheriff Dubnik was eloquent in his rant against the dangerous white hot rhetoric and that people are going to have to do some soul searching. "Arizona has become the Mecca of hatred bigotry and predjudice" "I don't know a single public servant who has not received threats"

Much of what he said will be repeated for years to come in much the same way that Rodney King's 4 words are still repeated.




Hateful words and rumorous lies do have consequences.
everyone already knows that.

I am posting these words on our street corner.
My flags are at half mast.



Yes Kat
I agree that aimless ranting doesn't help but it does heal a soul sick from the moment.
Gabrielle should become a living martyr and be spoken of as often as possible. The alternative is silence where evil implies silence as consent.
