Sanity, I posted who was this lunatic's inspirations. I have honestly never demanded or if I hinted that right wing media personalities should be silenced, I do apologize. Freedom of speech is a basic human right. I do not agree with their opinions, but I do not have to listen to them, it is my choice. Now, it is a said fact that there are people who are easily influenced and may take some offhand remark from either side to act in a violent and anti-social behavior. That is not the fault of the media personality. Now, unfortunately, the extreme right seems to breed anti government or militant organizations. Please note I said the extreme right. They are a minority and do not speak for the majority. The problem comes when the news media, right, left and center put the extremists on the news in such a way that either A) makes them out as heros, or B) portrays them as the majority. In this case, the individual was pro environment, which is a liberal cause, but in referring to humans as parasites on the planet managed to hit the extreme left of the issue.
