The Liberal Gun Club Forum

Someone needs to corral Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, Savage, and the rest of them, in front of a microphone and camera that are not of their own choosing.
...
And someone needs to ask them: In light of this latest in a series of ideologically-motivated murders, are you willing to tone down your rhetoric even a little?

Listen very closely to their answers. They will duck and weave, evade and deny, or at most give the standard reply of "lone nuts, oh so sad." But they may also let slip a subtle hint of guilty knowledge.

The author of the aforementioned WaPo article says in passing, "It's not fair to blame Beck for violence committed by people who watch his show."

I say it damn well is fair to blame them when it happens again and again and predictably again.

Once is a tragedy, twice is a coincidence, three times is enemy action.

Quoting someone brighter than me: Palin & crew are feeling unjustly blamed for the actions of an extremist. Maybe they can ask Muslims for advice on how to deal w/ that

If it walks like a duck....
I recently searched for right vs left wing political violence, and I believe that there is probably some of both. Left wing violence, once you get out of the 1970's, tends to be more along the line of breaking things, smashing windows, etc. Right wing violence (associated with political ideology) tends to kill or injure people, mostly cops. Several lists of examples are available on most left wing blogs.
