seems like that does the same thing.

Metaphor, Morality, and Politics,
Or,
Why Conservatives Have Left Liberals In the Dust

by George Lakoff

--------------

If it's possible that the Republican ideal actually leads some people to violence - some more extreme than others - it certainly seems worthy of discussion.

I see more and more violence advocated - and whether it's supposed to be a joke or not - people should take notice. (Of course Ann Coulter advocates talking to liberals with baseball bats)...

Ann was looking especially good this morning. And she was on fire with the libs calling in. And I was impressed that she reads FR. Ann, if your lurking, MARRY ME!!!

Sweetest Ann,
If you've been following the forum at all, you know that my fondest desire in life is to create a vast system of Concentration Camps for liberals, in which the death-houses are working day and night, day and night -- and in which the liberals are rendered into beef jerky, to be sold, of course, to Republicans and Conservatives.

Certainly you know that this makes us soul-mates.
With great affection,

Laz

And then last night - family members of a judge that sentenced Hale were killed.

Matthew Hale Found Guilty
White supremacist, Matthew Hale, has been found guilty of plotting to have a federal judge killed.

The AP reports that Hale was found guilty on four of the five counts against him in his plot to kill the judge who ruled against him and ordered him to stop using the name "World Church of the Creator" in reference to his supremacist organization.

Our society is being infected with sick thoughts - some of it is done on purpose by people with a lot of money and power. While I don't wish to see the Democrats absorb the virus - I'm not going to ignore it when I see sick Republicans.

I think the likes of Limbaugh and Coulter who work with the approval and support of Republicans - to encourage racism (notice Ann Coulters recent anti-Arab remark about Helen Thomas) and sexism and hate of liberals - fuels all this and makes the Republican leadership as well as many of the followers complicit in the violent mentality that is the USofA of today.
