WHAT THE RIGHT-WING GASBAGS HAVE HELPED CREATE (SO FAR)

David Neiwert has an article up at The Investigative Fund which provides a handy list of right-wing violence that can plausibly be partially attributed to the gasbags:

Jim David Adkisson - An avid consumer of right-wing talk radio (notably Michael Savage) and Fox News punditry (including Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity) walks into a Knoxville church in 2008 and opens fire, killing two and wounding four, having written a manifesto declaring: "Liberals are a pest like termites. Millions of them. Each little bite contributes to the downfall of this great nation. The only way we can rid ourselves of this evil is to kill them in the streets. Kill them where they gather";

Scott Roeder - Another avid consumer of Bill O'Reilly's columns walks into a church in 2009 (following O'Reilly's 28 on-air references to "Tiller the Baby Killer") and shoots abortion provider George Tiller in the head;

Richard Poplawski - A young Glenn Beck watcher, having been warned that President Obama intends to take his guns away, guns down three police officers in Pittsburgh in 2009 because of that fear;

Byron Williams - Another Glenn Beck fan, having been convinced from watching Beck's Fox show that the Tides Foundation was playing a leading role in a plot to destroy America, sets out in 2010 armed to the teeth with a plan to shoot up the Foundation's Bay Area offices, only to be short-circuited when Oakland police pull him over and he engages them in a shootout instead;

UPDATE: Peter Montgomery links to a story about another krazy Beckster:

Charles Wilson - sentenced to prison in October 2010 for making death threats to Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA)
