J’accuse

“I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularise America, I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen.' " - Jerry Falwell

“The Myth of the Angry White Male: What has sprung up is a strange kind of thinking. . . . Americans are unhappy with their lot. They are feeling insecure - layoffs and corporate downsizing have made their future uncertain. Stirred up by talk radio, the theory goes, large numbers of formerly sensible people have embraced 'hate' and 'extremism.' Most of these, according to the media, are white guys.” - Rush Limbaugh

Jim David Adkisson entered the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church and killed two people and wounded six others during the presentation of a children's musical. He said he attacked the church in order to kill liberals "who are ruining the country."
.
Adkisson targeted the church, "because of its liberal teachings and his belief that all liberals should be killed because they were ruining the country, and that he felt that the Democrats had tied his country's hands in the war on terror and they had ruined every institution in America with the aid of media outlets."
.
Adkisson said that "he could not get to the leaders of the liberal movement that he would then target those that had voted them in to office." He wrote a four-page letter in which he stated his "hatred of the liberal movement, liberals in general, as well as gays."
.
Inside his house, officers found "Liberalism is a Mental Health Disorder" by Michael Savage, "Let Freedom Ring" by Sean Hannity, and "The O'Reilly Factor."

Now, McSame and Sarah Sidekick are using the same inciting formula from 1938, courtesy of wingnut radio. I'm not the only one concerned.

It’s dangerous, and they know it.
