Who Really Killed the Knoxville Unitarians? by RJ Eskow Who really killed those Unitarians? Was it the preachers who spread hatred and intolerance? The politicians who court and flatter them instead of condemning their hate speech? The media machine that attacks liberals, calls them "traitors" and suggests you speak to them "with a baseball bat"? The economic system that batters people like Jim Adkinson until they snap, then tells them their real enemies are gays and liberals and secular humanists? If you ask me, it was all of the above. You killed them, Pat Robertson. You killed them, Pastor Hagee. You killed them, Ann Coulter. You killed them, Dick Morris and Sean Hannity and the rest of you at Fox News. Did Culture of Right-Wing Hate Lead to Church Shootings? by Marc McDonald A man who is accused of shooting and killing two at a Tennessee church apparently targeted the congregation "out of hatred for its support of liberal social policies," police said Monday. One might ask: where would such extreme hatred of Liberals come from? To get the answer, turn on Right-Wing talk radio any day. There, on a daily basis, you'll hear the most amazingly vicious bashing of Liberals imaginable. A Parting Gift to the Religious Right by Marie Cocco From the people who brought you the Terri Schiavo spectacle, the stem-cell research stalemate and the atrocious waste of tax money on abstinence-only sex education that has been shown not to work, comes a sequel: a proposal to redefine abortion to include some of the most common forms of birth control, and to potentially penalize with funding cuts hundreds of thousands of doctors, hospitals and other health care providers who expect their employees to give women full reproductive care. The religious right has only six months left in President Bush’s term to continue its war on science and its war on women. The latest sneak attack has been exposed. Congress has a duty to beat it back.

Today's Quote:

"We love without reason, and without reason we hate."

Editor's Notes & Rants:

Fox Terrorist Adkisson, who shot up a liberal church, was a fan of Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, and Michael Savage. Like anyone with an triple digit IQ didn't see that one coming.

Bad karma. Bob Novak — who joked about Ted Kennedy getting brain cancer — has brain cancer.

There must be an election coming up, Dept. of Der Fatherland Security is ratcheting up the scare level again. Boo!

Another right wing lie is exposed. Study proves media has been harder on Obama than McCain.

Remember when McCain said he would run a "clean" campaign? What a steaming pile of shit!

Bush to completely bankrupt the country on his way out.
