HATE SPEECH

The long expected result of all the hate spewed out, the animus, the sheer ignorance and voluntary know nothingness reaped its first harvest yesterday. Well, not the first. But the most serious and dramatic.

Rush, Glen, Sarah and the rest of the demagogues will have all kinds of diversionary comments today. But we know where this starts.

And here is where it ends.

Bloodshed Puts New Focus on Vitriol in Politics

Repercussions, indeed.

Wierd guys in patriot hats, the "don't tread on me" crowd, the lie spreaders about our President, the crazy shit spewed out by the Bachmans, the De Mints and the others. It all ends up here.

Talk about patriotism.

The thing is that when these guys talk it is either for money or power. They don't care that at the other end of the pipe there are truly crazy, violent people who are ready to take up the cause.

Did I mention that Arizona is a gun toter's paradise?

Here we have it. The stew we all said was brewing is now being served up.

I was not suprised at these weasel words:

Tea Party activists also condemned the shooting. Judson Phillips, the founder of Tea Party Nation, noted on his Web site that Ms. Giffords is “a liberal,” but added, “that does not matter now. No one should be a victim of violence because of their political beliefs.”

Labels: "a liberal". Whew. Pretty bad but don't shoot them.

And so it goes.
