Are the Imams preaching hate and violence in the mosques? You may not see it. But that is what Limbaugh, Hannity, Fox News, et al are preaching. Limbaugh's routine attacks on Hillary in the 1990s left me surprised that gunmen were not waiting for her in many states. The hate promoted by Fox News easily matches and probably exceeds that broadcast by early 1960s Radio Moscow. Hate is also why Colin Powell’s wife terminated his presidential ambitions.

That AZ Sherriff was right on the money. He was talking about the same hate routinely preached by Likud to get Rabin assassinated. They got what they wanted. Same attitude is preached by our wackos.

Classicman intentionally tried to post my personal information in order to encourage harm to me. If you did not know it, he was stopped by (I believe) UT. Why? I repeatedly accuse him of promoting hate and extremism. So emotions replaced logic. Same has become so common in the last 15 years that, well, that attitude even inspired Timothy McVeigh. They did not tell him what to do. Just encouraged the attitude. Promoting hate is how extremists get empowered. Why Christine O’Donnell set records for campaign contributions.

So, you tell me. Are the Imams promoting hate in mosques? That is where a problem most likely lies if it exists. Is what you see on the street a symptom of a dangerous source? Or just isolated venting overplayed by the local gossip?
