My "WTF?" of the day, conservative radio host suggests killing the SC gunman's family...

I looked up this guy, he's a real dandy, all right.

NRA News Regular: Charleston Shooting Victims' Relatives Showed "Serious Weakness" By Forgiving Gunman

Tony Katz: Killing Members Of Gunman's Family "Far More Decent" Than Offering Forgiveness

During an appearance on the National Rifle Association's radio show, conservative radio host Tony Katz said relatives of the victims of the Charleston church shooting showed "serious weakness" in forgiving the accused gunman and suggested that it would be justifiable to kill members of the gunman's family out of retribution.

So life is nothing but a gang-land or tribal war to him? Liberals v. Conservatives or Blacks v. Whites?

"Dose lowlifes tried sumptin' wit us, so we hit them back hard enough to teach them a lesson they won't forgit"

What a fear-filled little man-child. Bet he talks a lot of religious talk, too.

Any NRA folks want to weigh in on the propriety of their radio show's advice? I know we have NRA members here; any of them want to comment on the official radio show of their little club?

"Serious weakness" are you kidding me? The only weakness I see is the radio host trying to incite more violence. The families of the victims showed so much grace and dignity at the hearing and want to heal from this. I'm not sure I could have been as forgiving, but they truly follow the teachings of their church and we could all learn some lessons from them.

Doesn't want to reason, but wants people to tune in.

If you shout at the radio in anger, that's fine--as long as he gets the ratings. You nod as you shout at the radio in complete agreement, that's also fine--as long as he gets the ratings.

I knew people who listened to Howard Stern, the prototype for such ... uh, things because they liked what he said, because they hated what he said, because they just wanted to hear what the next outrageous thing was he was going to say. I couldn't listen to him. He was just boring.
