Do you think it's a coincidence that these terrorists watch Beck and BillO and such?

For that matter, which MSNBC, Air America (etc....) personality should we blame for the terrorist actions of ELF and the guy who just recently gunned down an anti-abortion protester in front of a school? You're going to find crazies in any demography. Was anything extreme ever said or done regarding Bush? I bet you could find some pretty disturbing commentary regarding our last president right here in the archives of TFP. Let's try maintaining some perspective before demonizing a group of people that most (here) seem to know little about, and seem all too eager to jump on the "lets label them as terrorists" band-wagon.

What about his "special announcement" do you take issue with? The thing about building the towers back was in context with topics discussed earlier in the show... an emotional summary (sappy too) to wrap up his point. The part about juggling and monopoly money was a comedic advertisement segment to promote tomorrow's show... which some may actually try to watch before making uninformed commentary. But where's the fun in that? Righteous indignation is always gratifying and doesn't require actual facts... there's YouTube and Wikipedia to back you up!

Yes, there are some fine examples of Obama supporters out there too... do we really need to go there?
