and slanders. This sort of thing can get inspired by Freep type posts from ignorant and malicious people with access to nothing more than the internet, no radio gig needed to froth up the haters.

It may have been anonymous internet hate, but it may not be. Just saying. The right wing airways are filled with this. And this was pretty bold stuff. Don't know if Beck, Rush, Boortz or worse, if Savage is in that region.

They get people pumped up, and they have been worse since Obama and others have come out for same-sex marriage. Attacking people in a public business is an outrageous act that had to come from somewhere.

I guess we're lucky the homophobes didn't apply their 2nd Amendment rights to the people they targeted. I don't trust reich wingers to not kill in public now, not at all.
