Okay I agree ... thanks.

But my argument still stands.

OK how did pundits influence people to commit violence?

If you're thinking of Tiller, I've heard O'Reily call him a killer, but O'Reilly never advocated killing him. If a man was willing to walk into a church and shoot the abortionist, I think that his opinions were strong enough to not need O'Reily's influence

I never said that pundits influence people to commit violence.

All I said was that despite the fact that people are responsible for their own actions (which I agree with) people can still be influenced. That does not make the influencer responsible though.
