So the rhetoric just will not stop. First some kid decides that it is time to make a statement and bring a Glock automatic gun to a public meeting and attempt to kill Congresswoman, Gabrille Giffords. In his insanity ended up killing nine other people and wounding many others. Next, some journalists and the sheriff on the scene start blaming conservative talk show people for creating a world of hatred for everything not conservative and the show begins. Here is where we come, Conservative talk radio goes on the offensive. Within two days everyone is declaring that the liberal media is on the attack and they are no way to blame. Of course they are not to blame, their first amendment rights allow them to say what ever they want whenever they want and the consequences are other peoples problem.
Sean Hannity even started telling people that this kid has a copy of Mien Kanf and the communist manifesto, covering all his bases so no one will be able to link this kid to being a conservative of any kind. He did aim for one of Sarah Palin's cross hair congressional districts and not some conservative district. The number of conservative districts far out number the number of democratic districts so if the shooting was completely random the chances of a conservative being targeted would be higher but statistics usually are useless in these matters when we are dealing with crazy people.
My only point is the hateful conservative rhetoric has been around since Bill Clinton's time, it is the conservative radio way. Their message is clear, if you are not conservative, you are not allowed a voice in this country, it is only logical, conservative means intolerant. Sean Hannity always talks about how liberals are just the same with their hate speech but I only remember liberals making fun of President Bush's C average.
