BILL MOYERS JOURNAL | Rage on the Radio | PBS

[Vearlsriver]

Violence and ignorance will be the demise of America (religion being but one.)

[Vearlsriver]

Violence and ignorance among ourselves, under a cloak of guises

(religion being but one) will be what destroys America, not terrorists.

[BootPatrol]

Let's not forget that incident which was profiled on that episode of "Bill Moyers' Journal" - the Unitarian Church shooting in Knoxville, Tennessee, on July 27, 2008.

Look it up on the 'net, and you'll find much more than you can imagine on the shooting.

Truth be told, the right should practice some restraint, as should the left. We should not be inciting trouble, neither right nor left.

[MerryChristmas2You]

typical far left wing propaganda. then again, it's bill moyers, what can you expect.

you want to have an open minded discussion about hate, lets have it. but please don't claim that a hack like bill moyers is mainstream, you only make yourself look bad.

[yochanan7777]

The spirit of Joseph Goebbels is alive and well and living in the USA

[susantamm]

I love Bill Moyers. He's an intelligent, thoughtful sensitive man who has kept himself away from the matasticizing nastiness of present day America which is most powerfully demonnstated by the denizens of right wing radio and TV.

[cs925]

That is truly a well thought, and very well written point. I agree completely.

[MerryChristmas2You]

you need to be on medication before you hurt yourself or others.

[Quercusalba2]

Moyers is a left wing hack.This piece is nothing more than pure lefty propaganda.

[fuegonel23]

That is a very insightful and intelligent comment from your part. Thank you for contributing to our civil conversation. You are proving that fans of right wing radio are as full of irrational anger and rage as their talk show hosts. You are in essence proving Moyers' point. As far as propaganda, don't go further than the radio shows I assume you are a fan of.

[1000orsowords]

You've seen it? Please elaborate. I personnaly I'm tired of bullies and cowards that attack a person and have nothing else to say. Please enlighten us on why this is "propaganda".

[hajqbvii]

It discriminates against people by dehumanizing them...exactly what Goebbels did for Hitler.

Nothing but Violence and Death has come out of it...you heard of the Holocaust?...

[sheepwshotguns]

as stupid as people can be, and i have no doubt some moron somewhere actually would act on that type of ridiculous impulse, i still believe in free speech and equality. and that means free speech for the douche bags just as much as me. with freedom comes risk and responsibility. our founding fathers entrusted us with it, and im not about to give it up.

will you?

[davehshs]

No, I'm not willing to give up free speech, either. But we can and should shine a light on the darkness of big-biz media that are willing to give a platform to people like Rush who encourage hatred, just to make money. If enough people pressured the station owners and sponsors, the hatemongers would be off the air. And that's NOT about stifling free speech. Not everybody gets his own radio show. Why should scum like Rush get one?

[StephanAOTTO1]

Exactly. It seems like everyone's in a mad dash to the bottom. There's no more informed radio newscasting, it seems, just opinions by bitter, miserable people, looking for others to share in their misery w/ them. I sincerely hope that there's an end to this, but, that will only happen when we, the people, demand it.
