I have also wondered why Coulter, Savage, O'Rielly ect. are not brought up on charges for inciting violence. Many have openly called for the death of all democrats, called them traitors and blamed them for destroying the country.

So basically they have pitted half of our country against the other half and called for war.

Clearly they are guilty of any murders that take place based on their words after all that is why manson went to prison. He never killed anyone either.

Those radio talk show hosts and authors are the very things they are accusing liberals of being!

Moyers is a senile old fool.

If this is really connected to Bill Moyers, then shame on you, Bill Moyers.

If a lie is spread about someone and ends up in a physical attack on the one lied about, the person who spead the lie is just as guilty as the attacker. Hate mongering, lying about groups of people causes fear among the masses - and eventually it leads to attacks on those who have been lied about. It's sick, and totally ungodly. BTW - I love Christ, but I'm not a right-wing hypocrite. What they're doing is horrible. But then, I'm not liberal eigher. Indi here. Peace

What bunch of fucking nazi's.

This is getting emailed to everyone on our list.

I think it's high time that liberals realize that they are dealing with irrational sadistic psychos and should be prepared to defend themselves.

Most these chickenhawks are only capable of shooting people that are unarmed.

Do something. Find out if these nuts are on your local station, call the station, quote the offensive comments, tell them to dump them, then call their advertisers. Tell them the same. Ask if they want their name associated with the comments, and then blog -- quote the comments, and list the advertisers. Do not let them get away with this hateful garbage.

Not surprising at all---look at his sources.

NeoCons: THIS IS HOW FAR YOU HAVE FALLEN.

It's one thing to disagree with liberals or not like the way they think.

It's another to make threats and wish them dead and in this case, KILL THEM.

THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE MADE.

THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.

THIS IS HOW FAR YOU HAVE FALLEN.

PS--fuck Michael Savage.

The FBI should start watching all of these crazy rightwingers.

So GLAD to see the exposure of these right wing talk tv & radio NAZIs who spew their venomous hatred of democrats in this country. Our country is IMPLODING because of RIGHT WING HATE - hate of democrats, hate of other people, HATE OF ANYONE WHO IS NOT A REPUBLICAN.  We are in a revolution that appears to be headed towards a civil ware in the US - all because right wingers want to legislate into law their personal beliefs rather than follow the Constitution. How do "Christians" embrace this?
