This man is a psycho. And the reason he won't get called on this is that he's publishing this manifesto cr@p in his own little web newspaper, as the two local ones obviously tired of his lunatic and dangerous rantings, LOL!

LOL. Magic-city.
I think he is on "magic" mushrooms.
I find it particularly interesting when someone criticizes the Magic City Morning Star for publishing an article from a far leftist, especially considering that, as the publisher, I am to the right of the Republican Party. I voted for Peroutka in November, not because I thought the Constitution Party had a prayer of winning but because I couldn't hold my nose tightly enough to vote for either Bush or Kerry.
The Magic City Morning Star is not Crockett's "web newspaper," crappy or otherwise. He is simply one of many writers who contribute. If you'd look around, you'd find people from throughout the political spectrum.
Reasonable people don't avert their eyes or cringe when confronted with something they disagree with.
We've had articles linked to from Rush Limbaugh's site, WorldNet Daily, national and state GOP sites, as well as Christianity Today; and we've been linked to from the Democratic Underground, Buzzflash, and several leftist sites.
I haven't voted for a Democrat since 1972, but I am pleased to give Crockett a forum. He writes well and people read his material. Mature people can decide for themselves whether they want to agree with him.
I get complaints from leftists whenever I publish articles from Doug Wrenn or Mark Oaks. When I publish material from Stephen Crockett or Charles Cutter, I hear from the Republicans. When I publish Grant Swank's stuff, everyone complains. The Christians complain when I publish something from a Muslim and the Muslims are upset when I publish something from a Christian.
Are you really so afraid to read something that you might disagree with that you'd like repeal that nonsense about freedom of speech?
Crockett didn't suggest murdering someone. He suggested that they be put to death. In a country where capital punishment is a reality, that's really not the same thing.
Was it preposterous? Certainly, but can you really tell me that you've never heard anything over the top from a conservative radio talk show host?
