Brace yourselves: Santorum is leading a wave of stochastic terrorism. Get ready for shootings...

44. The DKos article is dumb enough to refute itself

It claims Beck, O'Reilly etc use mass-communications to ramp up lone actors -- but then it notices Bin laden and al Awlaki types doing the same thing. Did al Awlaki have a primetime national television show to inspire Major Hassan to shoot-up Ft. Hood?

No.

If you don't need mass communications then it just takes communications and a willing psychotic. That being the case, my example of the woman trying to hire an assassin to murder people who wear fur would implicate harder-edged animal rights activists as the motivators for her would-be ideologically-based violence. This is an actual article I read on DU today, not a hypothetical.

I would also add DKos is rather hypocritical. They too had a map with crosshairs over Rep. Giffords' district as well as a poster that wrote Giffords is "dead to me." While they were running around piling-on others they scrubbed the posts to cover their own "stochastic terrorism." Nevermind the fact Loughner is described as rejecting the MSM and obsessed with the movie Zeitgeist.

The OP pretends to be clever in its hand-wringing but its just a way to stir-up hysteria. To what end? Should Santorum be jailed? Banned from running for president? Censored? Unless practical remedies are offered its only noise and smoke meant to ramp-up emotions and then it mocks itself.
