Fox News Murders

The recent shooting of 3 police officers was a direct result of right wing propaganda. The shooter was led to believe that his guns would be taken away by the government.

Should we be able to prosecute news outfits who purposely spread fear? The US is a democracy. Our leaders are elected. Our laws are being voted upon. Yet republidiots feel that they had nothing to do with loosing elections, because they have god fearing gun toting homophobes on their side.

I think I just found their new slogan!

Though Michelle Bachmann is a bat-shit nut-job, I don't think her glue sniffer rantings had anything to do with it.

The dude was just a bitter, bible toting clinger.

Funny, I always thought people were responsible for their own actions.

Nobody forced this guy to believe what he did or act how he did. There were obviously other factors at play (mental instability, emotional issues, etc.) that you don't care to look into or mention, since they don't fit your template.

Prosecuting news outfits? Where are we, Venezuela?

Correction: The US is (or WAS) a Constitutional Republic, NOT a democracy.

Most of our leaders are corrupt. Many of our laws are unconstitutional.

If either major party candidate had won the election we would have lost.

Very true, so news reporters should be included in the "Responsible for their action" thing, right?

The other issues you mention obviously play a role. Unfortunately, people who own guns are not all sportsmen. I do not know the percentage but many of them own guns because of fear, mental instability, emotional issues, irrational fear of other people, irrational fear of some invasion from outer space, irrational fear of a North Korea invasion force, irrational fear of Al Qaeda, irrational fear of homosexuals.. you get the theme. Gun sales are cranking up the economy right now, people FEAR there won't be enough guns. Thanks!

However if a scientists points out that the ice shelf is melting that's called fear mongering. Compared to climate issues all else is pretty much a cake walk.

Really though, I don't see how a news reporter and whatever garbage he/she spews forth over the airwaves is directly responsible for the actions of this madman.

To try to pin the blame for this tragedy on an ideology you don't agree with is really quite sad.

There are extremist elements of any political/idealogical group. Al Qaeda does not represent all of Islam, although they claim to. Would you blame all of Islam for the actions of Al Qaeda?

They are not directly responsible. However they are responsible. If they claim to report news.
I do not blame anyone, however:
Islam is responsible for Al Qaeda. (without Islam no Al Qaeda)
Christianity is responsible for crusades (the pope said so).

Society as a whole is responsible for extremist elements.

Maybe. There is a word which we use a lot for deliberately spreading fear in a population. It's called terrorism. Terrorism has lots of different MOs, but the end result is to get results by intimidation. The FBI defines it thus: The unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a Government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.

Spreading fear by publicizing fake terrorist warnings is terrorism itself. If I called in a fake bomb warning causing an evacuation and got caught in the act, I would be charged (and most justifiably so) with all manner of serious offenses, not the least, terrorism related charges. However, if Fox News, CNN or the other members of the Axis of Weasel does the same thing by scaring the living sh¡t out of the population by broadcasting fake warnings about bogus threats/attacks (which they have done on countless occasions in the last 8 years) without fact-checking, they should also be held, to some extent, accountable.

Anyone recall the 45 minutes warning of biological/chemical attacks on any US city by Saddam Hussein's fleet of WMD carrying drones? This was repeated on all the mainstream US media outlets in January and February 2003 on a semi continuous basis, causing a run on plastic sheeting and duct tape, the broadcast of emergency PSAs, and millions of very frightened (and admittedly gullible beyond all believable bounds), people. And the media knew that all that stuff was utter garbage, yet they ran with it, in their default lip service to the administration of the day.

If that wasn't terrorism and was "acceptable", then getting on the phone and calling in a fake bomb threat, is also presumably OK, if we are not to delve into the sticky realms of "one law for them, another law for us" type of duplicity.

Anyone with a sense of proportion would not. But in the last 8 years, perhaps even more, Islam in general has been implicated in terrorism by many people with a very large reach, in both government and media. One would have to be living on Mars not to notice this. Take for instance the word "Palestine", or "Palestinian".... during the last few decades, the sole mentions of that place or people in the media has been in conjunction with the word terrorism, thus the connection is made. When the OKC bombing happened, it was all "middle easterners all the time", until Tim McVeigh blew it for them.

Since 9/11, the population as a whole has been subjected to the incessant framing of "Islamic" and "Muslim" with the word "terrorism" in the national debate. Yes, the whole of Islam has been blamed for being violent by nature, in the minds of many. President Obama even made of point of trying to deny two days ago when he said that "the United States is not at war with Islam", which indicates that we probably really are (by proxy, that is), but nobody has the balls, or the permission, to admit such in public.

So the way you help the crazies stop being paranoid is to start censoring and prosecuting people for their thoughts and words.

I think that would up their paranoid-o-meter by a factor of about 2000.

Obama will institute gun control. (reported as fact but is not even on any table anywhere.) I hope he will outlaw all guns including bow and arrow.

Censoring is not the same as holding someone responsible for what they say. You can still say whatever you want. Foreseeing consequences would demand intelligence, maybe even wisdom. I believe to demand this from people who speak to millions is not too much to ask.

You are speaking about rational people making rational decisions. This person obviously is not in that class. If a million people saw those Fox claims, then this is the one person, the outlier, who acted on that.

So when you think about how that outlier is going to engage in reasoning, they will draw irrational conclusions from prosecuting people for giving out news and views.

We already have liable and slander laws. What is it you are seeking beyond that if not censorship or control of media?

Not to mention this pesky little thing called the Second Amendment to the Constitution:

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

(Emphasis added.)

Note the capitalization of the word "People". Calitalized. Just like in "We the People" from the preamble to the Constitution.

I don't know how it can be any more clear.

What is a free state?

Is it a place where gay people can't marry and women can't have abortions?

Is it a place where people loose everything they have to a health problem?

Is it a place where education is so expensive that only the wealthy have access to the best?

Is it a place where you can burn as much carbon as you like without any regard for any consequences?

This one will be debated by Constitutional scholars forever... but in practical terms, the right of the people to bear arms is now common law as well, in the same way that it is common law for corporations to have the same (or even more) rights as individual citizens.

For better or worse, the guns are out there, the toothpaste is out of the proverbial tube. But....one question in my mind re. the 2nd Amendment, is the definition of "arms", which run the gamut from bows and arrows, through handguns and rifles, to automatic weapons, to RPG launchers, artillery, tanks, conventional bombs, fighter aircraft, chemical and biological weapons, ICBMs and nukes and a whole bunch of other stuff in between. Where does one draw the line, and how would one arrive at that line? What weapons would be allowed under the 2nd Amendment, and is there any case law re. such matters?

Health is not a right.

Education is not a right. It is also unconstitutional for education to be administered by the federal government. See the 10th Amendment.

Yes, as of today it is.

I believe the government has no right to tell you what your pursuit of happiness should be, nor do they have any constitutional authority to use the money of others to finance your pursuit of happiness in any way.

The framers of the Constitution support my belief.

10th Amendment:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

The Constitution grants no power to the Federal Government to administer education, health care, abortion, etc. Therefore, decisions regarding those matters are reserved to the States or the people.

Actually, the Constitution does specifically mention money. You have read it, I assume? The US Constitution?

Article 1, Section 8, Clause 5 grants only to Congress the power "To coin Money [and] regulate the Value thereof".

Congress soon after passed the Mint Act of 1792, establishing a US Mint that produced money based on gold and silver.

Article 1, Section 10 states:

"No State shall ... coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts".

The Constitution made it very clear that only gold and silver based currency was to be used among the States.

As you can see, the Constitution does specifically mention money. Today our money is based on...well...nothing, really. We aren't using money in accordance with the Constitution, hence the problems.

Brace yourselves: folks like Beck and other conservative talkers are inciting the lunatic fringe in the nation by having the nerve to suggest an anti-gun rights Democrat president along with an anti-gun rights Democrat Congress are going to enact anti-gun rights legislation.

What chutzpah!!!

So Jamac, do they email you the talking points or did you have to go read them somewhere?

It would be much better if the tax payers have to pay for damages. Of course if you are poor you really need a gun to defend your property. To compare ropes to guns is plain idiotic. How about the pursuit of happiness? BTW you do have to have insurance for assemblies, concerts, movieshoots. To compare guns and knives is also completely idiotic.
If you don't have insurance for your car (which is regarded as a deadly weapon in some cases) you pay. We need guns to protect ourselves from our government? I would like to see US citizens go to war against the US army. That Glock is really going to intimidate the guy with the finger on the button.

According to Glenn it is OK to kill Sarah Palin for being stupid as long as you do it with a gun.
3 police officers have died.
