To me that kind of rhetoric is far more dangerous as it legitimizes violence. And let's not forget Ann Coulter who expressed wonderful sentiments like wishing Tim McVeigh had gone to the New York Times Building instead. Yet, that wretched crone appears regularly on news outlets as a "conservative commentator." And of course let's not forget Russia observer Sara Palin and her infamous target website with Democrats in the crosshairs of a rifle scope.

So if news corporations are to apply this penalty standard it should be applied evenly and none of these violence espousing cretins should appear on any of their programs in person. Same goes for the violence promoting "shoot these reporters" twit from Texas, or the violence committing Montana slammer. To me their appearance is more seriously offensive as it sends the message that their violence promotion is ok and penalty free and their opinions matter as if they are civilized people, which they are not.
