In reply to the discussion: Frank Schaeffer: The siege mentality among evangelical Christians has led to self-induced dementia. [View all]Tumbulu
(6,278 posts)22. I have been saying this for 30 YEARS NOW
And for some unknown reason, the liberals in the cities have completely ignored those of us who live in red states or rural blue states. We are the ones who are villified and bullied by this banter. But it remains utterly ignored if not sort of protected as "free Speech" !!!!!!!!!!
Why is using public airwaves to incite violence and hate red of women and minorities protected?
And if it is protected, then how about going after the businesses that support the hate mongers?
I know there was a push to not advertise on Rush, but nothing happened because Rush is supported financially anyway. Advertising is just extra.
You said it far my eloquently than I did.
Thank you!

It didn't start with saving "babies". It started with keeping blacks out of schools and churches.

The anti-abortion whack job meme is more about misogyny than it is about "saving babies"

Not that far of a slide, really, as "saving babies" was a euphemism for forced pregnancy
