The prosecution should be to the maximum extent of the law for the corraboration of the media and government representatives involved. Their actions are nothing short of terrorist activity and their punishment should fit the crime. They have sold the nation out with their deliberate efforts to totally destroy the country and devastate the world. ********** [074916:031911] P.L., Simi Valley, CA The Republicans are doing more damage to America than any outside terrorists. ********** [125834:022611] J.M., Saint Louis, MO Recently, there has been an explosion in threats and acts of domestic terrorism. The majority of these can be traced to groups and individuals who do not accept the results of our recent election or the laws enacted or proposed by those who have been elected. They seek to undermine the democratic process through threats, intimidation, and even outright murder. They can't accept the legitimacy of the President, or a woman's legal right to make choices about her own medical care, or an immigrant's right to be treated humanely under the law, so they carry out acts that are antithetical to American democracy, American values, and both civil and human rights. The fringe elements that makes up those who commit these acts of terror, are frequently exploited by a continuous wave of right wing media advocating violence, either directly or indirectly, by commentators amplifying the talking points of extremist religious leaders and extremist political leaders. The fringe is incited on our public airwaves, and urged to take matters into their own hands, with the underlying belief that the Bible and/or U.S. Constitution justify using "whatever means" are necessary to oppose what they believe to be immoral laws. We ask you to take a stand against this dangerous trend towards the incitement of lawlessness and violence. We strongly believe in the First Amendment right of free expression and discourse, even when that expression is abhorrent or not in line with our own beliefs. However, the First Amendment does not protect debate where one side includes the threat or act of violence. The Department of Justice must study this trend toward the encouragement of violent lawlessness and initiate action to counter it, investigate and prosecute those who are committing and inciting others to commit acts of violence, review whether any media groups are violating antitrust laws by monopolizing media or media markets, or failing in their obligation to meet the "public interest" of their FCC broadcast licenses, support an update and study by the FCC and NTIA of the 1993 report, "The Role of Telecommunications in Hate Crimes.", and Congress must conduct an investigation into the rise of extremism and violence and the role of the media in this phenomenon, hold hearings on the responsibility of the licensed broadcast media to conduct itself in the public interest, support legislation to require diversity in media ownership, encourage broader minority ownership of FCC licensed media outlets, and that otherwise reverses the dangerous trend of media monopolies allowed following the passage of Bill Clinton's Telecommunications Act of 1996.

That is FACT, not my opinion. These people are just as bad, if not worse, because they learned NOTHING from history. These murdering thugs belong behind bars. Want to know what evil looks like: look to your RIGHT. ********** [185940:011711] P.L., Simi Valley, CA The United States is in the grip of an insane love of death by gun. No other first world country has the death toll that we do here. 82 citizens die DAILY. The second amendment has been misinterpreted and we die because of it. Something is really wrong here. ********** [170845:011611] A.W., Hayward, CA The hate spread by Neo-Con's needs to stop!! We are a Nation of Laws. If you can not express your self with out resorting to putting cross hairs on your opponent. Maybe you should stop expressing your self. ********** [204209:011411] C.L., Olema, CA In 2007, the House attempted to address some of these issues by passing H.R. 1955, the self-titled "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007", which many dubbed the "Thought Crimes Prevention Bill". The language of that horrific bill was an invitation to totalitarian mischief and fortunately was not passed by the Senate. Like so many recent bills, whose official title is a dishonest representation of its true intent, H.R. 1955 included enough vague and undefined language to be very grossly abused. At best, it was a gratuitous, election year stunt to try to fool us into thinking that Congress was actually doing something to protect us, while our real national security was quite week. At worst, it had witch-hunt written all over it. Some very informed commentators identified very large and disturbing holes in the bill, especially the use of the word "facilitate", in relation to terrorism, which could mean just about anything. I have no desire to see such a bill ever getting passed in the United States, but our government should do what it can to stand against the recent dangerous trend towards the incitement of lawlessness and violence while at the same time protecting our First Amendment right of free expression and discourse. ********** [162010:011411] K.H., Orlando, FL It behooves the DOJ to investigate the clear and present danger of Sarah Palin and her incitement to violence. Please do your sworn duty to protect and serve the citizens of the USA, and to uphold your oath to the Constitution. ********** [152425:011311] u.m., Little Rock, AR Pls. write a story about now Conservativism is damaging this country and the state of Arkansas. with the rightwing racist ideology that is dividing up this country in a very bad way. i know that arkansa is a very conservative state, but the truth really needs to be brought out inorder for this country to move on from the racism and Lies. that is the main thing that is dividing up this country and Arkansas. This conservative ideology is very bad for Arkansas and the USA. its also keeping back poor people and minorities from getting things that can help them , like healthcare and government asstances like housing and food programs. Together all Americans can fight against this conservative terrorism that is dividing up this country, by calling it out for what it is, Reguardless if its a conservative state or not. thank you and God bless. ********** [191912:011211] W.B., Ocala, FL Wendy E. Binnie ********** [114450:011211] D.C., Hamilton, IL Dave Cornelius ********** [032333:011211] R.H., Mason, MI Fox News has filled the airwaves with incendiary nonsense and been the main cheerleader for angry and confused people who call for taking the law into their own hands with "second amendment remedies." Is it any wonder that several unstable individuals have answered that call in recent years? Violence and its threat have no legitimate place in civil society. It's time to stop demonizing our opponents and accept that we will all have to work together to resolve the many real and serious issues that are facing us as a nation. ********** [051109:011111] S.S., Saint Louis, MO In addition to the recommendations of Violent Revolution, there needs to be a more voluntary commitment on the part of the individual Congresspeople to change the tone on the floor of the house/senate--this is something that can not really be legislated but I believe it is important. Also, I want to add that I think that the ban on weapons that are not used for everyday use and really are only used to kill a lot of people fast. There used to be a ban on assault rifles, but it expired. This attack on a member of Congress makes it crystal clear that it was a mistake to let it expire. It should be reinstated. I also think that the magazines for those sorts of weapons should be banned. I saw an ATF officer on TV last night who said that the standard issue magazine for the average professional does not repeatedly fire 33 bullets before needing to reload like this unstable young man easily purchased. There is NO reason for an average citizen to use to use a 33-bullet magazine except to kill a lot of people fast. ********** [215306:011011] L.A., Medina, WA Congress is supposed to be our role models, and yet you allow lies and threats toward those who run against you in campaigns. You allow corporations to murder us citizens by such things as rescinding health care when someone who has paid for it for years becomes sick. You vote against basic citizen needs and make us live with financial anguish, and lost homes and health care and jobs. You treat us so poorly that we end up on the streets and become suicidal or homicidal. What awful things have you done to our country? How have you let the Glen Becks and Rush Limbaughs and Bill O'Reillys of the US spew venom on your behalf? This is all your fault. ********** [142158:011011] M.R., Lynnwood, WA It's really frightening to know that going to the grocery store can get you shot. Please investigate the horrible incident this Saturday in Tucson and fight against those who push hate. The Right Wing is out of control. ********** [132025:011011] D.I., Monongahela, PA Why is it should I put up a list of names with cross hairs on Facebook or anywhere public I would be arrested with-in 24 hours for terroristic threats, yet Palin, Angle, Bachman and the Becks of our country can and do threaten and incite violence against others and nobody including the FBI has shut them down and taken them off to jail? I have a right to own my gun, but I also must wait on a background check before it is handed over when buying it. These mentally ill people appear to do none of the above and it is time they do. When a person is arrested and considered mentally ill their guns should be taken off of them until it is determinded they are sane and not a threat to others. ********** [125949:011011] D.S., Ithaca, NY This is of the utmost importance: our very democracy hangs in the balance! Please, I implore you - help put an end to exhortations to violence by public commentators!!! Sincerely, D. Scott ********** [122052:011011] W.L., Winston Salem, NC Have we become a nation that prefers bullets over ballots? ********** [111817:011011] l.o., West Linn, OR The right wing has become as threatening to our safety as any foreign terrorist group ever could be. I call upon the DOJ to investigate and charge any individuals or groups deemed responsible or contributory in this recent assassination attempt/murder and this country expects the RIGHT WING in CONGERSS TO STOP THIS MORONIC, ABUSIVE, DANGEROUS, IMMORAL ATTACK ON THE LEFT IMMEDIATELY. ********** [110207:011011] F.G., Hickory, NC Stop the insanity of the rhetoric going on with the media and politicians and other hate groups. This may be you someday or someone you love. In all my years I've never experienced the hate and division in this country. We don't need to fear outside terrorist, we have them right here claiming to be loving Americans! ********** [012128:011011] G.S., Fort Lauderdale, FL The toxic atmosphere created by RW media and the Tea Party in general has led to the near death of an U.S. congresswomen- it will only stop when pressure is applied to tone it down- DOJ, FCC, etc., must work together to solve this ongoing problem or things will get worse!! ********** [122231:123010] R.K., Landenberg, PA The airwaves belong to the public. Please eliminate the hate-talk by restoring the Fairness Doctrine. ********** [161449:122810] K.K., Imnaha, OR The Right Wing New Jocks think they can say anything on the public airwaves, truth or lies. I like the truth, but their lies threaten US democracy. The voting public needs truth. ********** [141459:122810] B.M., Montclair, NJ Torture is immoral and abhorrent in a democracy. ********** Go Back
