While it didn't happen in this case, the hyperbole expressed by Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, Bachmann, et al, will certainly bring about a senseless act of violence in the future, and that will be a very bad day. For they reap what they sow, and what they sow is hatred and violence. <br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving, Tom.
