Isn't advocating a crime, a crime?
Freedumb of speech, dude. (Conservatives need not apply)
Keep in mind "there's no one listening".
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around does it make a noise?
Sounds an awful lot like "incitement to riot" to me!The larger point is, as rineaux points out, responsibility - the fact that left evades it. And, whatever his virtues, President Bush is not about to make the political counterattack this treason cries out for.
IMHO the only remedy is in civil court. Broadcasters whose signal reaches a locale where looting is a real threat should answer a civil suit from anyone whose store was looted after they advocated theft.
Having broadcasters actually held to account for something they said would have an exceedingly salutory effect. It's not like the FCC was threatening to pull the licenses of the Air America affiliates for capers like this!
Sometimes you have to think like a commie to understand what commies are up to. They are bothered by the freedom of new media, and long to shut it down. So they use parallel versions in ways calculated to discredit and to set precedents, etc.
If they can prove there is a substantial likelihood that it will incite that crime.
