(31,849 posts)I heard, this morning, calls from talking heads to crack down on organizations that radicalize folks to the point of violence. They were talking about the shootings in France ... one noted, "We can no longer call these individual acts by 'lone wolves'."
I couldn't help but think, substitute "Radical Islam" with "rightwing ideology" and we have the same thing ... we have rightwing media radicalizing folks to commit acts of violence (think ... Tiller, the Las Vegas killings ... hell, there are too many to name) where the perpetrator actually named rightwing radio as their incitement.
Yet, none of these talking heads lay the blame at the feet of rightwing radio ... nor, do they suggest that these acts of violence are anything but "lone wolves."
