Open Season on Liberals
I’ve been reading Al Gore’s “The Assault on Reason.” Al puts forward many excellent theories and examples of the degradation of our public discourse.
Today’s news is about as degrading as it gets:
In Knoxville, TN, Jim D. Adkisson was apparently frustrated over being out of work and had a “stated hatred” of the liberal movement. So he entered the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church during a children’s performance Sunday and shot people.
Its a shame that our political discourse today must occur in a “news” environment that includes hate radio and hate television (read: Fox News), where if you are what the hate mongers label as a “liberal,” then you are the purported source of all their angst and personal failings.
Hate radio kills, make no mistake about it.
