this source of this clip is just funny:

http://pushbacknow.net/2011/02/03/pr...ing-and-riots/

it's hard to think too much about what the op could possibly mean given the lunacy of this commentary and the absurd conclusions drawn from the clip.

for the record, i don't care about violent rhetoric per se. i don't find it to necessarily be a problem any more than any other rhetoric is necessarily a problem. situation, however, can make of many different rhetorics something deeply problematic....for example as much as i find nationalism to be a collective mental disorder, espoused by random people at some conservative rally no-one really cares. it's just what they say. but repeated on radio--say---over and over and over and tipped toward directing collective violence, justifying it and concealing it at the same time...that's a problem.

i think i'm saying the same thing that charlatan said above but with less elegance. i blame the lunatic conservo-blog post that i stumbled across by working my way backward from the youtube clip. still laughing. what a putz.
