Then we have an obvious clue...that <i>they're</i> responsible! (#4 above)

Yesterday I revisited some of the audio clips from the right wing radio hosts that I tracked. Here's one from a radio in SF. And you know that she DID get death threats. Management approves of this guy. http://www.spockosbrain.com/BrianSussmanTargetPracticeonTheDixieChicksCD02122007H18M14.wma Greg.

You guys jump quickly to the “right-wing radio” as being responsible for this guys actions….have you ever considered that this guy is responsible for his own actions?

From the post…

I don’t think it’s fair to say that people like Limbaugh and O’Reilly are directly or even indirectly responsible for the shooting…

…and…

While we should reserve judgment until we know more about the shooter…

I mean...since were pointing fingers at people who seemingly have nothing to do with someones actions maybe we should point them at those closer to the cause....

He'd say, "In a hundred years there is no way history books will say, 'In the early 1990s right-wing talk radio became very popular, filled with hateful diatribes on the evils of the federal government. In a completely unrelated event, some guy blew up a federal building for no reason." Hell, if Emma Goldman could be arrested for the assassination of McKinley simply because the assassin had been in the audience of one of her lectures once, I think it'd be fair to haul in O'Reilly & co and start charging them.

Years ago, after the Reagan assassination attempt, cartoonist Jim Borgman ran a cartoon of the well-known scene at that event -- people running toward the site. At the curb was a limousine with this bumper sticker: "Guns don't kill people. Gun people kill people." The right's obsession with the NRA and welcoming of hateful fringies is bound to explode like this. I loathe and detest Bush and Cheney; I'd never even jokingly suggest they should be killed.

Are we seeing the beginnings of the undercurrent of what was hidden behind the civilised world of the Weimar Republic? From Weimar Culture by Peter Gay, pg. 20: "...between 1918 and 1922, assassinations traced to left-wing elements numbered twenty-two; of these seventeen were rigorously punished, ten with the death penalty. Right-wing extremists, on the other hand, found the courts sympathetic: of the 354 murders committed by them, only one was rigorously punished, and not even that by the death penalty. The average prison sentences handed out to these political murderers reflect the same bias: fifteen years for the left, four months for the right." Forever in Gitmo vs. how long for these and other attacks? The question arises is how are these being punished?
