BUT I also think they will make a "fatal error" in doing so. At that point the mood in the country will change and the government will move to declare the militia groups as terrorist organizations and start breaking them up and jailing their leaders. And they will finally tell the AM radio stations that these right wing talkers like Savage and Beck have to go if the station wants a license renewal because they are encouraging terrorism.
So we may see a good thing after all!
Another case of "I disagree with their free speech, so get rid of it."

Can we get rid of you for making a statement like that? Afterall, I disagree with your opinion. A dose of your own medicine, if you will.

It's appalling the number of American's that think this way. Either these folks are too young, or too stupid, to understand what America stands for.

Actually the sponsors are doing that, and thats the right thing. Could you ever imagine a day that the reality of the rightwingers up close and personal would repulse even soulless money-shark corporations?!

here's an example of the "too stupid": Think Progress » Rep. Lamar Smith: ‘The greatest threat to America is a liberal media bias.’

Obama is against media censorship....but we know he's just pretending, right?

Keep defending your strategies. Don't you know it is also one of the rules to demonize the opposition for using your own tactics?

It's everywhere and it's very sad. Whether you disagree or not with the stated opinions of others, they still have the right to spew it. That's what America stands for. Unfortunately, that part is lost on many folks.

It takes more than a willingness to die for your cause to grant you honor and integrity. The Patriot Act does scare me. But I'm not going to march on Washington and start shooting. Because fighting the good fight means living for your cause, means identifying your enemies who aren't necessarily the people who disagree with you, and for revealing the truth, not shutting up your opponents. No one is giving comfort to our enemies, but some of us see a complex world where the enemy isn't always who it appears to be.
Your words are meaningless. You only see things through your liberal glasses. If you can point out where I am advocating taking up arms, then do it, or move along. If you want to talk about it being OK that it might come to that, if the majority of Americans feel that way, then it is OK. Majority rules and you will soon find that out next election.

This, in conjunction with your other comments about the militias, can be interpreted as a veiled threat. If that was not your intention, you should strive for greater clarity in your remarks.

Violence is never okay. Mob rule is not an American ideal, it is an American nightmare.

By you and you alone. No one else really sees it as a threat.
