29. One loon's idiotic hyperbole is another's call to action...
You really don't see a guy with 4 million listeners calling for the murder of another guy, and then volunteering to pay for the bullets, as the least bit provocative?

I'll bet all the money I no longer have that if Malloy called for the same treatment for Pelosi -- let's even say he ratcheted it down so his exhortation was maybe a tenth as harsh as Reagan's -- his ass would be in prison or getting renditioned to Egypt for inciting this and advocating that and probably a little conspiracy to commit tossed in for laughs.

So I'd suggest it's not the sanctity of human life we're interested in protecting. It's the sanctity of a right wing nut case to call for any violent acts against anybody of a dissident point of view. And it's all about protecting the ruling class from the peasantry, protecting the official 9/11 bullshit story from those who have torn it into small pieces and protecting the right's power and again asserting the left's powerlessness to resist the maniacs who run the show.
