Typical right wing nutjob suggestion. Protect your democratic republic by undermining the very ideals for which it stands. Why is it so many of the right wing talking heads seem to be immune to the irony, the hypocrisy of their ideas?

Wow! What a grade “A” moron. Actually, now I’ll have to apologize to morons…even they wouldn’t have anything to do with this guy.

I think that it’s good to point out that this isn’t even a nutso right winger he’s a white supremacist. This has almost as little to do with real life as David Duke going to Iran.

This brings to mind radio host Laura Ingram’s Election Day prank, when apparently out of pure spite, she urged her listeners to jam the Democratic Party’s 1-800 help line. They subsequently did so. No charges were filed against her. Had she or this wingnut cursed, the FTC would fine them for indecency. I guess our society does not judge inciting a felony to be indecent. We need to enact stricter laws regulating communications. Deregulate—and this is what you get.

I started a comment, and then realized there was much more that I wanted to say than would fit here, so I posted about it. In a nutshell -- apparently, this radio host is a white supremacist.

It is indeed a fine line between protected speech, no matter how hateful, and inciting violence, which is illegal. Often that line is only drawn on the basis of the results. If a rep senator or judge is assassinated and it is shown that he was the “spiritual leader” for the nutso that does it, than the big bad radio host is going to jail. Notice how he exhorts his listeners to “not be cowards” and kill the congress members, but gives no mention that HE is willing to do such a thing. If he is, and he doesn’t, then he’s calling himself a coward.

Hint: If world net daily thinks you are out-of-the-stratosphere rightwing, you have a problem.

Yowchh! That DOES cross the line. This dodo’s going to be investigated if any attack occurs on any elected official.

Back to the old comment format, thanks my old PC likes a whole lot better. When a teenage girl had a anti-Bush carton on her Myspace page the SS visited her. I think the FBI and SS should take this patriot to GITMO for a little rendition f an old song.

I still crosses the line on actual political discussion into a realm that should be abhored by even passionate partisans. And you can see World Net Daily, a conservative site, is aghast as well. The problem is that there is a pushing of the envelope in general on talk radio. I find I listen to only a few talk radio hosts and on long drives now prefer to listen to audio books or CDs. I arrive at my destination a lot more relaxed and happy than I do after listening to what in many cases is three hours of a host demonizing a party they don’t belong to and people who belong to that party. Just think of how it has DEVOLVED in recent years.

But he said “may” not “will”.

Pretty pathetic really to watch a wingnut defend his comments by parsing the meaning of words like “is”.
