@karoli it continues to amaze me that so many people listen to these fear&hate-mongerers. The silver-lining: their immune system suffers :)
-
@exador23 their immune system may suffer, but not enough to compensate the families of those fallen cops. :(
-
@karoli Arkansas Democratic Chair, Universalist Church, & now 3 police officers? Sad news on an already sad historical day. :(
-
@exador23 "Like Obama, I like to think b4 speaking." :D Excellent point! I feel the same way but wish I'd put it into practice more often
-
@webpixie just explaining why I don't do well on live calls ;)
-
@exador23 Historical (and sombre) indeed.
-
@exador23 That mute button rocks! It works on both sides for the organizer. Perhaps I should've used it (just kidding)...off to PPP-land now
-
@karoli spot on.
-
If you haven't read @karoli's latest contribution to The Bipartisan Report, please do... "Hate is death. Simple as that" http://bit.ly/qVueU

@exador23: re:Pittsburgh: I would hesitate to ascribe such extreme reactions to any group, political or otherwise.
-
@dwibby maybe too early in this case, yes. But http://is.gd/j6G3 (& Don't forget the GOP crusade against rock music)
-
@karoli: re: "Hate is Death. Simple as that" http://bit.ly/qVueU Excellent article. @exador23: thanks for the recommend.
-
@exador23 thanks for sending that on. I hope that's really the last thing I have to write on the topic of gun rampages. Ever.

...The religious right spent a decade trying to convincing us rock lyrics cause killing sprees. The case for hate-radio as cause is clearer.
-
...sorry. replace "cause" with "trigger for mal-adjusted listeners"
-
@exador23: Easy as it would be to ascirbe a stance to an entire group, I think it just makes us victims of the same trap as these tragedies.
-
@dwibby I've been trying to adopt RAW's "sumbunall" more frequently here. The situations are too complex for simple finger pointing...
-
... but to ignore evolving patterns is to ignore reality. I have no solutions except to boycott hate-radio sponsors & urge sanity for GOPers

@exador23: even that strikes me as using the same mental hueristic, just under a different name. At least, it pulls the same strings in me.
-
@dwibby understood & a very respectable viewpoint. I personally have a hard time seeing a difference tween Limbaugh & BinLaden sometimes ;)
-
@exador23: After all, I'm not sure I want to be defined by the worst excesses of the Weather Underground Movement.

@exador23: Make no mistake, Rush gets under my skin, too, but I try to keep in mind that his antics directly affect his income.
-
@dwibby don't get me wrong. I'll defend their right to say whatever they want but as @csarven says Acheter, c'est voter http://is.gd/pjde
-
@exador23: indeed, but as long as people listen, someone will buy advertising space. Innoculating against the invectives would be best.

@exador23 Will you be joining us for this coming Sunday's JOMC?
