Can't just about anything drive someone who already has anger and hatred over the edge? Get cut off driving, have a bad day at work, get fired, lose a job, have a fight with their spouse.

People snap from different reasons. Instead of eliminating every possible "trigger", maybe it would be smarter to try to recognize the characteristics of those who look like they'll snap and try to get them help.

Either that or start pumping valium into our drinking water

You mean the "fizzle in the drizzle?"

That was quite the Fox sponsored protest...

It is time to start bringing back some balance on the radio by reimposing the Fairness Doctrine.
Just today some racist attacked the Halocaust Museum because he doesn't like the Jews. Immigrants have been attacked, blacks have been attacked, abortion docs killed in church and at home and there is little doubt in my mind that much of this is encouraged by talk radio and its venomous right wing extreme host.
Probably about the same time that our country does something about the hateful socilaist marxists that have taken over the government. It is time to bring the constitution back to being followed and stop all of the affirmative action crap and guess what...the fairness doctrine is against the constitution, but I camn see that you don't care about that as long as you can hate.

Could you please explain your post? What hateful socialist marxists are you talking about? Could you please give a couple names, do you even know what the meaning of marxist is?Please read: Marxism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We'll deal with right-wing AM radio just as soon as you deal with left-wing television. Letterman, Mahr, Stewart, Moore, the View, etc, etc, etc.

We have never had cable, but we always watch FOX.

I see people are discussing the Unfairness Doctrine today.
