Democratic Congressional Campaign Manager's Family Pet (Cat) Killed, Painted With "Liberal"

[Fokker Trip]

226. The Rwanda Genocide and hate speech on the radio.

The hatred between Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda has deep roots (colonialism, etc.) but the stage for the 100 day genocide was set largely because of non-stop hate radio referring to the Tutsis as "cockroaches". It was explained to listeners that the need to kill women and children made sense as it was important to stomp out the "cockroaches" that would breed in the future.

The killings were between neighbors and strangers alike and they were almost all carried out but machetes and other hand held implements. Unimaginable to most of the readers hear and to myself, but it happened because they were encouraged to hate the other.

The head of UN forces wanted to shut the radio station down but the US vetoed that move because they defended the hate speech as free speech.

The US is on the same path, this disgusting incident is yet more proof of that. Hate radio is like a non-stop spray of gasoline, all it takes is a spark to set off the violence that is encouraged by the hate.

Very scary stuff.
