Dude. Should we arrest the rapper who said "187 on an undercover cop" where 187 is an implied incitement to murder? Should we arrest the politician on the right because a person on the left might have taken something they said as a call to murder? Should we worry that the person who says they're going to "fuck you up" needs a condom? "Go shoot person X" is implicit "She's on my target list" is implied Dude..we are talking about inciting violence and then someone > attempting to assassinate a congresswoman! > And we are talking about people in Authority, persons running for > public office and who hold public office in government. > > > That's a key difference to groups of extremists just just talking crap. > So a group who says they'll "beat fagots bloody" (for example) and then does it is just talking crap?

Any analogy that implies violence should be removed from political rhetoric. "I'm going to kill him", "lets stomp them at the polls", "give them a beating they'll never recover from". If you say that these slogans are not the same as "she's on my target list" then I ask who gets to decide? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:333165 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
