THIS! Of course it was wrong for the gunmen to show up and start shooting. Nobody is denying that.

But if I (as a white person) stepped into a bar where a lot of gun-toting AAs hung out and I went off on a racist rant, I would probably get hurt or killed. It would still be assault/murder on their part, but it also would have been incredibly stupid on my part. Same thing would happen to an AA in a redneck bar in the south. At some point, we have to stop thinking that Freedom of Speech allows us to be violence-inciting idiots and we need to take personal responsibility for our actions.

I disagree.  Freedom of speech should allow us to say dumb accidentally or purposefully offensive things.  That's what it's for.[/quote]

Of course.  Otherwise Fox News would be in jail.  And I'll protect the Klan's right to say what they want, and even that God Hates Fags group.  But I despise the Klan and I despise that group.

The point is that we can still dislike these people for what they did.  They provoked a reaction. They had no other reason to hold the event except for that reason.  It is quite douchebaggy.   I could stand on the sidewalk next to some megachurch in East Texas holding posters depicting Jesus as a creepy child molester, and I guarantee you that one day someone is going to punch my lights out.  Would he be wrong?  Yes.  Would I be legally protected? Yes.  But am I acting like a douchebag?  Yes.[/quote] Boy, liberals sure get their panties in a bunch over Fox News--they get dragged into totally unrelated discussions. It must be terribly frightening yo no longer have a monopoly on the news propaganda machine.  Wake up. It is all propaganda driven.[/quote]

Please name some of the primary news sources that you think liberals rely on. You guys keep talking about our news sources as if you know so much about them, but I'm not so sure you do. So please name some and be specific.

Here's a hint - don't embarrass yourself by saying MSNBC. I don't know a single liberal who considers that a news source. [/quote]

The most comical thing about where "progressives" (ie Neo-liberals) get their news is the popularity of Jon Stewart's comedy show (here's a hint:  its comedic entertainment.  That fact is lost on most of the audience - who tend overwhelmingly to be progressives).

Steven Colbert similarly shovels propaganda in a mix of comedy and his opinion of the news.  His sister ran for office as a progressive.  His highly biased views are hardly secret.  And liberals eagerly consume it all as fact.

But in addition, the news sources preferred by progressives seem to include (in no particular order):

-NPR/PBS (which seems to have taken a hard left turn since the last election)
-WaPo
-Politico
-Bloomberg
-BBC
-CNN (lies)
-HuffPo
-Al Jazeera
-RT
-Baltimore Sun
-Mother Jones
-Slate.com 
-Salon.com
-Media Matters
-Dave Barry
etc.

I've seen all of these cited here from time to time. [/quote]
