(53,661 posts)I'm not sure what is to be done. Try to stop it and the Alex Jones types will scream 'Police State.' Their sense of urgency is very high, which most of us who have followed politics for the last few decades are able to decode.
The now taken for granted, hatred of liberals, gays, abortion, Demcrats, etc. as 'the other,' is, as the article said about Rwanda, According to commentators, anti-Tutsi hate speech "...became so systemic as to seem the norm."
Can we deny this is happening in the USA, combined with the push for fact-free, hate-filled intolerance?
This is certainly not the first incident of incitement and stochastic terrorism falling allegedly from the mouths of Rush, Palin and Beck. Most definitely from Beck. He has been cited in cases of police being killed, violence and terroristic threats. People have been convicted and are in prison or being investigated for this now.
