Also see my article at East County Magazine linking Minutemen leaders arrested for murdering a child to groups operating in San Diego's East County: http://www.eastcountymagazine.org/?q=node/1419

You may also enjoy my smack-down of some Minutemen who tried to discredit the article (see their comments and my rebuttals); they even managed to tick off a Minutewoman who came to my defense and essentially called them liars.

1. Thank you for the OP and for the article. Results thus far:
Yes. Hate speech is inciting violence and should be restrained, just as we restrict people from shouting “Fire” in a crowded theater.
74% (20 votes)

Yes, but the right to free speech should be protected at all costs; punish only those who commit violence.
22% (6 votes)

No, I don’t believe hate speech and the rise in hate crimes are related.
4% (1 vote)

4. One important thing I'd like to add regarding the article ...
... Duncan Hunter is a Blackwater/Xe-ass-kisser, who can go fuck himself.

5. I've written a lot about Hunter and Blackwater -- in fact...
I broke that connection in a Raw Story article a year or so ago, as well as in the East County Californian newspaper before I started East County Magazine.
