If you haven't watched it yet: "The History of Right Wing Hate Talk"

H/t to Crooks & Liars and also this thread on DU: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x543898
The video, "The History of Right Wing Hate Talk" was a discussion between Mike Papantonio (Ring of Fire) and Ed Schultz discussing the horrendous climate of hate in Dallas at the time of JFK's assassination, the role of Hunt and the elder Koch to fund what became the John Birch society and the "wanted ad" campaign that distributed countless thousands of these posters with JFK's image under an accusation of TREASON!

For those of you who know, Papantonio was a law school colleague of RFK JR and has, for years, produced a radio talk show with Robert Kennedy JR, called Ring of Fire. It is thus poignant that Pap discusses this with ED, since he has undoubtedly discussed this with Robert over the years.

Please watch this video embedded below and take note of my signline. Some here were "ashamed" of DUers for continuing to discuss the hateful language of Palin and others after it became apparent that Loughner was unhinged and likely no direct link would be shown. This is why the discussion must continue. It goes well beyond the tragedy in Tucson.
