Reply #13: One of my right wing co-workers asked me today "what

[MadMaddie]

is it about these people making threats to public figures"?? Sigh....here's the conversation...

Him: "why are these people making threats to public figures"??

Me: Well they are being incited

Him: "Who is inciting them"?

Me: Hmmm..how do I answer this without starting with Rush, Beck and Hannity? :think: "Are you familiar with the genocide that occurred in Rwanda"? I explain how it happened....blah..blah...blah..

Him: "Well that's not happening here"!

Me: "Actually it is happening here"! I then bring up Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity and the others and ask a simple question, "What is their responsiblity and culpability if someone acts on their "jokes" and kills someone?

Him: "Well everyone has the choice to turn the station it's not the radio stations fault if some crazy does something".

Okay I hope you are sitting down for the next part.....Sigh..

Him: "So you have a Democratic Congress that forces something on American people that don't want it on one side and then you have people walking the line really close to inciting violence, what's the difference?"

:crazy: :wtf: :grr:

At this point I don't even know what to say......I turn around and keep working....
