(602 posts)I wasn't ignoring anybody. I was out. And I have to jet out again pretty soon. Don't take too much offense to that "go take a nap" jibe, Bluenorthwest, others say that to me sometimes and I just laugh it off, no big deal.
But if you read what I wrote again, then try to reconcile what I actually wrote with what you wrote, I think you'll see some glaring discrepancies.
Just remember, we're all on the same side here. My concern is for the extreme cesspool of disinformation that is our political atmosphere, and for the susceptible individuals in our society who are radicalized by the extremist in our midst hiding behind free expression to further their destructive goals.
Do you remember anybody being gunned down in America lately, and do you remember any discussion on this and other boards blaming Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh and/or others right-wing shock jocks for contributing to the mental instability of the shooter?
Of course you do.
People are dying, getting killed, gunned down, here in America and around the world. And IF you ask the question "how did this happen", and follow the trail of breadcrumbs, all too often you find your way back to the source of the lies, hate speech and radical encitement that begins under the cover of "free speech".
Think about it.
