For an example, let's use a movie you are all familiar with, Goodfellas. The bar kid Spider (played by Christopher Moltisanti (yeh I know)) pisses off Joe Pesci. Robert de Niro eggs him on, going "Tommy, you going to let this f***ing punk get away with that? What's this world coming to?" And Pesci shoots Spider.
Now, de Niro never told Pesci to kill him, but he knew how to push his buttons. Rush, Coulter, Hannity, O'Reilly, they are very good at pushing buttons. They are saying "We got a problem here, this country is in big trouble, what are you going to do about it?" You know this is true, if you deny it you are appeasing the violence. Now how about, for once, accepting the responsibility of stirring up all this hate, instead of just waiting for something to happen?
That's just stupid. I mean, totally assinine. What you're talking about, is censorship. Censorship of political speech that you disagree with. Personally, I hope there are folks just hat stupid in the government. Well, I know there already are. I can't wait for them to do something that stupid. It will be just one more thing that will get them all voted out the next go-round.
