Pumping Up The Volume
As our faithful readers are aware I have been warning that Somebody Is Going To Be Hurt for quite a while. What happened yesterday didn’t surprise me. I’d been expecting it. The fact that it happened in Arizona… again, not a surprise.
What is surprising is how quickly everyone moved to define the shooter’s politics – [...]
“What Could Go Wrong?”
Talk about looking for trouble.
An armed Christian organization, Right Wing Extreme, will protect a church that is planning to host an “International Burn a Quran Day” on September 11, the church’s pastor said Tuesday.

Erick Erickson, A Shotgun, And Census Workers
Via Think Progress:
ERICKSON: This is crazy. What gives the Commerce Department the right to ask me how often I flush my toilet? Or about going to work? I’m not filling out this form. I dare them to try and come throw me in jail. I dare them to. Pull out my wife’s shotgun and see [...]

What would you do if comments like this started arriving in your in-box?
As I talked to Johnson in his office, an alert flashed on one of his two giant computer monitors. An angry screed targeting him on another website concluded: “I think a visit to Mr. Johnson’s home might be warranted. Anybody got his address?”

Secret Service Is Very, Very Busy
I find articles like this extremely disturbing – probably because it’s so easy to see where it’s heading.

Can Hate Talk Lead To Murder?
Well, let’s face it… it doesn’t help.
Joan Walsh at Salon ponders the point. Read the whole thing. It’s a thoughtful, careful piece and well worth your time.
