This is the price of hateful rhetoric: How right-wing invective is feeding right-wing terror
Salon ^ | Conor Lynch

Something strange happened on Friday. Two topics that Republican presidential candidates normally can’t talk about enough — Planned Parenthood and terrorism — were both a part of the major news story of the day. Yet not one of them thought it was worth commenting on. (Ted Cruz was the first to comment on it the following day in Iowa.) Normally, when a gunman starts randomly shooting up a place somewhere in the United States, politicians are the first to give condolences or prayers or strong words for future terrorists. If this had been a man with darker skin who looked worthy of profiling at the airport, you can be sure that GOP candidates would have quickly taken advantage of it to prove their strength or to do a bit of fear mongering. But in this case, silence.

Of course, this particular gunman decided to attack Planned Parenthood, where, as Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountains CEO Vicki Cowart said to Think Progress, anti-abortion extremists (which most GOP candidates are at this point) have created a “poisonous environment that feeds domestic terrorism in this country.” Right-wing media outlets like Fox News and Breitbart can also be counted among the extremists promoting anti-abortion and anti-Planned Parenthood violence. It is hard to overstate the amount of vitriol that has come from these sources over past few months, since the debunked Planned Parenthood videos, which falsely implied that the women’s health organization was profiting off of fetal tissue and organs for research, were released in the Summer. Indeed, it was a matter of time until a lunatic decided that the best course of action was to go and kill people in order to

So what is this hipster douche going to say about today?

I’ll bet it wont be anything about Islam or the “left-wing”.

Look for this coward to either ignore or say “workplace violence”.

Prison is going to irradiate that love of hipness, and the hipster look, right out of him.

Probably become an axe-murderer now, like Charlie Manson.

What part of the 3,300 dead future Americans, CHOICE executes each day, is PP's percentage?





Are you still killing your unborn?

Why are articles from Salon posted here? We already know they are deranged and suffer from a mental disorder. There is absolutely nothing else to be learned from their ranting.

“Liberalism is indeed a mental disorder with no known cure...”

Absolutely ingrained, intent on disorder, lusting after power with subversion as a catalyst.

IMHO

When a "right winger" shoots up a place, the Left wants to ban "right wing" thought altogether.

When Leftists or moslems shoot up a place, they say "you can't judge an entire group by a few bad apples!"

You make a good point. Also, I can choose not to read these articles.

They are not drunks. They are devout Leftists dedicated to the destruction of the United States of America. And to piggyback Norm Lenheart we will either wipe them out or they will wipe us out. There is no third option. At the present time, they appear to be more dedicated to their cause than we are to ours which should be our perseveration.
