Well, fear of the Acorn Assasians and Obama and his Czars starting Pogoms has had it's first casualty. A census worker named Bill Sparkman was killed. hung by his neck, gagged and with FED written on his chest. Police are warning us not to jump to conclusions that it could be an unrelated murder with no connection to Beck and Co's alarmism. I call bullshit. Yes the motive in the mruder may turn out to be different, but damn it if a pro-lifer was found dead, hung with 'Fundy' written on him, there would be NO question in the news that it was a left wing nut. As always we cow tail to the right, least we offend them by insinuiating they're crazy violent nuts. Well, they are crazy nuts, and some of them are sure to be violent. Shooting at the Holocaust museum, right wing nut. All the news went out of their way to insist he wasn't or down play it but he was. Fair and balanced news my ass. Evidence can be damning and not paying attention to that evidence for the sake of 'fairness' is neither fair nor balanced.
All the alarmism and fear and paranoia being spred by rich wealthy white males reminds me of my favorite line from The Great Gatsby, which I felt summed up the central conflict beautifully
...They were careless people,...—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. . . .
Great Gatsby Chapter 9
Blogs I follow: New Atheist and Sparrowhawk have also commented on this. They're probably more tolerant than I am.
