They won't stop until they get someone killed.
I'm referring to the RW shriek machine. Mark my words. They will continue to engage in this harmful caterwauling until some innocent person gets killed as a result. How many peoples' lives were destroyed until McCarthy was stopped? Apparently, this nation hasn't gotten to the point where it is ashamed of this circus and is still throwing peanuts to the elephants.

3. you think that will stop them? Of course not. They will deny they had anything
to do with another death.

6. I went into this yesterday I am so so afraid
that something like that is going to happen. I am afraid that some one finally snaps and goes after a member of congress, the president or the republicans also. People in this country are absolutely fed up with the type of hate and violence these right wing racist and haters spew on TV and the radio. I have wondered all along why it hasn't happened. Look at the shooter in California who went after "liberal politic ans" as he said.

It's going to happen just wait and people like Palin and Bachmann are just as responsible as Fox and Rush. Look at Palin "putting politic ans in her cross hairs". What is more radical than that.

20. I was more blunt, and got pummeled for my honesty.

Though, with people losing their jobs, there is plenty of despair and frustration to go around.

7. They've already gotten people killed.
George Tiller is the most obvious example. Various right-wing propagandists didn't care, refused to acknowledge responsibility, or actually considered it a feather in their cap.

8. "they won't stop" until their alleged victims start fighting back. step one is to
blacklist FOX - no more access to government or democratic party.

9. You mean they won't stop until they are stopped
and that will happen only when they kill someone high profile enough.

This is a job for the gutted, supine FCC. Shrieking to murder one's fellow citizens should be enough to get somebody off the air. It used to be. However, until it does get someone high profile enough to be noticed killed by one of the mental defectives who enjoys this crap, it won't be stopped.

10. People have already died due to their hate mongering
In case you haven't noticed,our country has been in a civil war for a while now.
So far its been a fairly low level conflict due to restraint from us lefties.That could change in a heartbeat,though.One small spark in the wrong place will ignite a backlash sooner or later.

Obama really needs to sign up the US with the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.

11. Americans have short memories and many today would not even know what you
were talking about if your discussed the McCarthy era. IMO we are approaching that again when I listen to some of the RW. Frankly, I think many are trying to bring back a civil war and some of the most evil organizations ever known to mankind. IMO this RW shriek machine is a complete threat to national security and stability. Too many fall for this nonsense, thinking they are REAL Americans.

I have no idea where it's ending, but I can certainly recognize the dangerous signs as you were discussing. While I certainly believe in freedom of speech, some are clearly using it to undermine the country. We've seen this happen in other countries and we have much of the same now occurring here.

12. Republicans seen how easy it was to get people to hate Latinos
Even some people who we thought were decent intelligent people. They fell all over themselves getting on that hate wagon.

Now other people will get the same treatment.

Why? Because it works every time.

15. Why would they stop then?
Actually, They DO get people killed with what they support or oppose: e.g., screeching against government regulations, resulting in deaths, as the 11 on the Deepwater Horizon rig.

18. They won't, and even that won't stop them
They have every intention of keeping at this crap until they are stopped, period. The deranged crazy who listens exclusively to Fox News and then goes out and shoots people HAS ALREADY OCCURRED, and they're still at it strong as before.

21. Death would lead to more hatred, more division and HIGHER RATINGS.
Since ALL they care about is making money telling lies they will continue to incite people to violence, hatred, racism and fear. They profit by manipulating people. And there are enough dupes out there who will eat every bite they are fed without even tasting what they are eating. That's the definition of a right wing conservative extremist.

22. I doubt that getting someone killed would stop them. They'd
consider that a "win".

24. They won't stop until they are stopped.
Getting someone killed will not stop them, they will simply claim they did not make it happen (publicly) while gloating (privately).
