In Somalia their tragedy began because some on the radio began sending divisive and inflammatory messages using the airwaves. We have seen the effect of such speech and to merely defend the right to continue it reflects an unstable imbalance.
What speech are you referring to???

So you think Palin's speech was the cause of this rampage?

Any evidence for that?

To answer the question again, the same kind of speech as in your status which you have already edited.

This is not a court trial and what the people think will not require such strict standards of evidence. A simple cause and effect has already been observed by the people and they are disgusted by it.

The only ones denying this are those who wish to defend their right to continue to use such vile speech. Hopefully they will be more closely monitored and as the political climate changes that they will also be sanctioned. That type of speech no longer has a place in American political discourse.

What connection does that have to do with Palin???

You mustn't have been here when the bedwetters were crying over the 'racist' use of Obama's middle name....

Most also understand why some choose to emphasize our lawful president's middle name when they have not chose to do so before in more recent administrations.

Daily KOS also needs to tone it down. We all know though which extremists views are going to be the main focus. Crying that 'they did it first' like children will not help but only serve to prove some are clearly in the wrong.

No one is getting a free pass anymore and it is going to start from the top down. The more responsible ones have already began to do personal inventories of their own speech. John Boehner has already began using a different tone than before. Smart move.

The bleating of the bedwetters about 'racism' no longer work...

If only those on the left had started off with this,instead of falsely attacking those on the right they might not be seen in such a negative light...
