In reply to the discussion: Shot-Up Image of President Draws a Secret Service Inquiry [View all]newspeak
(4,847 posts)let's look at some of the fallout from the hate blatherings of talking heads like o'lliely, beck and hannity. A right wing nut shoots up a UU church, wants to kill him some liberals-his reading material, right wing hate spewers. A right wing radio talking head in denver remarks about harming a progressive radio commentator and one of his ignorant shoots the progressive to death. O'lliely talks about going after doctors who provide safe abortions and a doctor is shot to death in church. A democratic campaign manager comes home and finds his cat dead with "liberal" knifed into it. And giffords, along with others, including a child is shot by a very disturbed man.
The corporate media gives access to these blowhards-they pay them to spew bigotry, ignorance and fear; and they divide us. To me, they also incite fools to commit acts of terror on anyone who doesn't believe the way they do.
And the difference is, yeah, some people have used voodoo dolls, burned effigies and the like of little boots, especially after he put our soldiers in harms way needlessly, gave his friends lucrative contracts (our money), squandered money while the decent jobs were disappearing. But, what the left didn't do is ACT out by harming others. That's been left up to the right wing wackos.
