What with all the vitriol from Beck and Limbaugh and the likes, it was only a matter of time before something like this happened.

This is a horrendus crime however I am unwilling to lay this at Limbaugh and Beck's feet.

Bullshit. This man is obviously psychologically disturbed and vulnerable to idiots like them. The massive hysteria over this in the media is without a doubt what instigated the man.

As much as I'd hate to Godwin the thread, Nazi Germany was realised because of ideologues ranting about the Jews, minority. People who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

There will be more Enrights out there, and as time passes, they won't be medically insane, either.

Most Americans listen to at least one media outlet. Call it an educated guess.

And note that I'm not blaming individuals, I'm blaming the whole lot. Practically every channel has had a guest on who opposes the centre.

There are Nazi ideologues ranting about Jews in the U.S., but people don't listen to them that much.

If someone is in a position of power, like a government official or something, and they order people to do evil racist shit, that is different. Then the authority figures are responsible.

This is just pundits with no authority running their mouths.

And who were the Nazis before they gained their power?

EDIT-- The media is extremely powerful. Many people are idiotic lemmings that can be swayed. Having a show as popular as Beck's, for example, makes one very powerful.

Michael Enright the suspect was a liberal arts student who had did volunteer work in Afghanistan.

He may in fact jsut be crazy, god knows New York has plenty of those.

And who encouraged him? Beck. Limbaugh. Those bigoted assholes. I think I'm right to blame them for this attack.


You're not right to blame anyone except Enright. People are responsible for their own behavior.

Bullshit. This man is obviously psychologically disturbed and vulnerable to idiots like them. The massive hysteria over this in the media is without a doubt what instigated the man.

As much as I'd hate to Godwin the thread, Nazi Germany was realised because of ideologues ranting about the Jews, minority. People who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

There will be more Enrights out there, and as time passes, they won't be medically insane, either.


But do we have proof he listened to them ?

Most Americans listen to at least one media outlet. Call it an educated guess.

And note that I'm not blaming individuals, I'm blaming the whole lot. Practically every channel has had a guest on who opposes the centre.

An assumption, as I suspected.

A logical one.

Hardly. There are myriad reasons for the hate-filled to target Muslims, without any interference from Republican talking heads.

I'll rephrase my previous question. If this mosque controversy weren't going on at the moment, do you think Mr. Enright have slashed this man's throat? I don't think so. I'm not 100% or even 90% sure. But I can connect the dots and make a reasonable assumption, such as the one I laid out.
