Will conservative talk radio hate evolve into violence against Liberals?

Question

Hannity, Coulter, Limbaugh, Savage etc.., all promote hate on their shows, sometimes even violence against Liberals.

Ann Coulter quotes; "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he
did not go to the New York Times Building."

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."

"We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too."

Limbaugh quote "Why should Blacks be heard? They're 12% of the population.
Who the hell cares."

Answer 1

the real scary thing is... MILLIONS of conservatives buy those books... and listen to those shows...

at best... maybe 1,000 liberals have reacted physically at universities? probably less than half that...

this is the real issue here... one seems to represent a large portion of one side, while the other is less than 1 perecent of the other side...

granted, there doesn't seem to be any mass actions taken from their words... it's still scary some of the stuff they say

Answer 2

Well, I'm a liberal and I listen to those folks occasionally. Good for a laugh. Machiavelli said " Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer"

Besides, all those folks you mention (and most conservatives in positions of power other than McCain) never served a day in a military war zone including Bush (yeah, the Cong never invaded Texas 'cause Bush and the Texas Air National Guard were there to defend it...OK, so he was somewhere else. Same thing)

I'm sure that goes for most of the ditto-heads too.

Answer 3

Being a so called conservative is nothing more than basically being a devout rascist. I have more respect for a man like David Duke than I have for the likes of O'Reilly, Limbaugh, or Hannity. The last election proved that many Americans are quite capable of thinking for themselves. We have grown disillusioned with the type of pure BS that these individuals are spewing.

Answer 4

Your question is valid. Though it has been my experience that due to the young liberal demographics that it is far more likely for a Liberal to become violent.
They are passionate and think with their hearts . On the other hand it is easier for a Conservative to sit back calmly and make a liberals blood boil whether it be via truth or propaganda.

Answer 5

Anyone who actually listens to conservative talk radio is crazy, but more importantly they are lazy. I don't see them getting off the couch to do anything.

Even if you can find one or two willing to commit violence, the fear that the gays are coming to marry them and blacks and Hispanics are going to screw their daughters and then leave keeps them inside their house--so there is nothing to worry about here I think. Let them scream from the inside all they want, those of us who are willing to walk out in the sun know better (seriously, Robert Novak looks like a vampire).



As a sidenote, I'm not calling all conservatives crazy. Though I am rather liberal in my thinking, I have found many good thinkers and decent people among the conservative crowds. The only ones I'm calling crazy are the ones who listen to talk radio, because they wouldn't listen to it if they didn't believe in all that foolishness they are spouting.

Seriously, if I wanted what conservative talk radio spews out, I would just take the whole bottle of laxatives. I wouldn't get as much s**t, but I'd be close.

Answer 6

Probably. I am constantly stunned by their ignorance. Liberald tend to be open-minded, and yes, though we are vocal, we do believe that everyone is entitled to their view, though we may not like it. These politicians act like racists, just towards liberals (is there a word for that? I'm sure there is...) And sooner or later the people who worship them are going to do something drastic because Ann Coulter said so, or because Rush Limbaugh said so. Since they're saying liberals are basically terrorists since we're a huge threat to this country, it won't be long before they start a war with us.

Answer 7

Although I am a Democrat, I have faith that most Conservatives do not subscribe to the nutcase hate tactics of idiot extremists like Coulter, Hannity, Limbaugh and their types. And if by chance they do, the Democrats will give them quite a fight. :)
EDIT: PANTHRCHIC: I have NEVER mocked our troops and don't know any Democrats (other than a moronic statement by Kerry) that have. I do not like Bush and I do not agree with this "war" , but care deeply about our troops and want them home. You have no right to call anybody Un-American!

Answer 8

it incredibly is quite unusual. I dedeuce out of your question which you spend a lot of a few time listening to amazing-wing nutjob radio. How then could you omit the consistent insults? How could you omit the demands the homicide of folk the host does not like? How could you omit the blatant slander and libel? Or do you comprehend approximately each and each physique of those issues, yet deny their hateful nature? ultimately, I for one have in no way used the term "hate radio". the place did you pay attention it?

Answer 9

These people are hate mongers. Since we allow free speech in this country, we can't stop them.
What I want to know is how do you recognize a "Liberal"? Do they have a large "L" on their forehead?
I have met many people but have no idea of whether they are Liberal or not! How do the people who post hate of Liberals on here know who they are addressing? Just because someone does not agree with me I don't label them. It's just a difference of opinion. That is still allowed, isn't it?

Answer 10

Nope, that is just another scare tactic used because many disagree with the free speech practiced by the radio show host.
