re: #75 Anymouse

Feature, not bug. I am sure the wingnut county GOP guy is fully aware of what happened at Kent State.

And this goes back to our discussion up the thread: If someone takes him up on it (shoots protesters), will he be dragged into court for inciting violence? No. Should such speech (stochastic terrorism) be protected as free speech (see also Holocaust denial)?

Oh, I know he knows what it is. My point is that it’s his reaction that makes things al lthe more worst. To claim that he wasn’t calling for violence is absurd. However, if he had after the outcry said something to the effect that he posted something stupid impulsively, I personally might give him a little more slack but when he tries to claim A) he wasn’t calling for violence and in fact the opposite and B) whine about the left calling him out for the dipshit he is, that’s what pisses people off. I guess the hardest ords in the English language for a GOP official to say are “I spoke stupidly and impulsively and I really do apologize, I have a position of authority and I really should be aware of that in the future.” But nah, whine about the left calling you act for wishing a Kent State.
