I don’t care if the guy who shot everyone in Arizona was influenced by right wing rhetoric or not. I knew long before that incident that words are powerful and hateful, disrespectful and violent words used by manipulative people, right or left, for their own selfish agenda of money, fame or power, without regard for the consequences, are dangerous words spoken by dangerous people.

I will not agree with all the media voices. I will not agree with all politicians.  But I will trust they are doing what they think is right IF I hear respect and love in their words and in their voice.  BUT I will NOT trust nor follow the people who say words that inflame hate, disrespect and vengeance no matter how closely I may be aligned with their political or social position.

I heartily suggest you consider doing the same and boycotting those who have decided to use those rhetorical tools to get what the want. Don’t give it to them.  If they want your attention and your respect, make them work for it by using their voices with respect and civility.
