Progressivism is the cancer in America and it is eating our Constitution. And it was designed to eat the Constitution…It must be cut out of the system because they cannot co-exist. And you don’t cure cancer by – well, I’m just going to give you a little bit of cancer. You must eradicate it.
Where did the progressives go; where did they come from? All of a sudden, I’m not a liberal, I’m a progressive…Every time they wake America up to their policies, they have to change their names…They’re running out of names.
Please don’t pretend that there is a difference between progressives and liberals, that’s akin to insisting Hitler only detested Judaism but had nothing against Jews.
How is Beck’s demand for eradication of a large group of Americans different from a genocidal bin Laden fatwa?
Why is a lone, disgruntled engineer with a small airplane who committed a terrorist act in Austin Texas being lauded as a hero by the Tea Party Wing of the GOP?

No faux outrage over threats of violence with shovels and axes against Americans?

I love how you constantly move the goalposts here.
In your original post there is nothing written about “political assassination,” but rather “eradication of a large group of Americans.” Furthermore, the post is about a single individual saying it.
Now that we have another single individual saying basically the same thing, suddenly we are debating “well organized and funded groups” who call for “political assassinations.”
As I said, faux outrage. To the extent that you cannot even pinpoint the target of your outrage during debate.

“Where was your outrage when Right-wing author Bernard Goldberg spewed his hate-speech inciting hatred and violence in his book?”
I didn’t have any.
I’m not the one making an attempt to display outrage here. I believe that people are responsible for their own actions. If some weak-minded idiot is driven to violence by the words of others, who is really at fault?
Yeah yeah, I know all about the law. And when someone’s words are deemed inciteful enough to break it, I am sure they will be dealt with accordingly.

First you would have to prove that Scott Roeder was specifically motivated by O’Reilly’s words.
Has that been established? If so, please provide a link to that information.
Also, reading the Wiki on this issue, it seems that Roeder had problems going back to the mid-90s, including possession of bomb materials.
You going to blame O’Reilly’s words a decade later on that, too?
-
What murderer am I defending? Certainly not Scott Roeder.
I asked you if you have any proof his actions were specifically motivated by the words of Bill O’Reilly. Since that is what you have accused, I figured you could produce some actual…you know….evidence. I guess my hopes were too high.
Then I pointed out that Roeder was an asshat way before Bill O’Reilly came along, getting busted for bomb material. I don’t consider that as defending him. If you do, then I am glad you are not a defense attorney.
“Do I need to prove that all Nazi’s in Germany were motivated by Hitler?”
That is easily proven.
If you want to make claims against Glen Beck and Bill O’Reilly that you can’t back up, be my guest. But running the streets screaming loudly isn’t enough to turn your fantasies into reality.

You are correct, I don’t blame those high school bullies for a girl who hung herself after months of hearing their shit any more than I blame the bullies of Columbine High School for the 2 kids who murdered their teachers and classmates after hearing their shit.
People should be held accountable for their own actions. It’s a shame that isn’t a concept shared by all.
