How do you think Manson got convicted? It was because Bugliosi was able to show that while he did not commit the Tate/LaBiance murders himself, because of his role as the head of his "family", he was as culpable as they were.

Ever see the movie "The Accused" with Jodie Foster? The principle is the same. She was gang raped in a bar, and the guys that were shouting encouragement to the rapists were convicted of inciting the act. (The movie was based on an actual event.)

I am a huge advocate for free speech, but when someone like Rush or Billo or Coulter or any of those cockroaches start saying over and over again, in many ways, that liberals should be bombed, shot, knifed, killed, etc., THAT is not protected free speech, and those people should be held legally responsible if it can be shown that there is a connection between them and a person who committed a harmful or deadly act against another. It's not the easiest thing in the world to prove, but it can be done.

A lesson from my parents: There will always be those who have more than I do. There will always be those who have less than I do. It is not my job to worry about those who have more. It is my job to reach out to those who have less.
