The recent arrest of the BTK killer leads to the thread "Boy Scouts: Fundie serial killers OK, gays need not apply". While some DUmmies "understand" the "point" being made, more sane DUmmies state "I'm pretty sure that a known serial killer would not be allowed to be a Scoutmaster" and "This thread is surreal."

On a related note, we have AP PHOTOS: suspect in BTK serial killings....& reTHUGlicans response

The supposed Republican response is from a neighbor CNN interviewed:

"I don't even want to think that it could possibly be real," the neighbor, who gave his name as Greg, told KAKE. "This is a real normal block. I mean it's just normal families. It's quiet, it's peaceful. ... People walk their dogs, kids play on their bikes -- it's really normal. It's a pure piece of America."

Once again, does Karl Rove have a DU account?

The thread Ward Churchill isn't a "liberal" or a "progressive" or a "lefty" he's scum gets the following widely-approved reply:

...Churchill spent a lifetime educating people about THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT genocide of the modern age- the genocide of AN ENTIRE PEOPLE, MILLIONS OF NATIVE AMERICANS that inhabited this land before being slaughtered so that Europeans Conquistadors could appropriate YET ANOTHER COUNTRY, AN ENTIRE CONTINENT FROM THE VERY NORTH TO THE VERY SOUTH, AS THEIR LEBENSRAUM and some would try to brand HIM as a Nazi. It is no wonder the meaning of little Eichmanns just doesn't sink in when there's an entire genocide to ignore and revise so that Amurkins can happily celebrate Columbus Day. The stench of the hypocrisy from a total unwillingness to examine things and face up to our moral failings is nauseating.

Ward Churchill may not be one of you but he's definitely one of me. Maybe it's because neither Churchill nor I have been proud to be Amurkins for a long assed time. Bush is just the final nail in the coffin and the MAIN reason so many so-called Democrats these days hate Bush is because he's the rawest form of what America has always been about and won't even bother to hide it to protect the delicate sensibilities of those who just want to reap the profits of the empire while imagining their hands are lily-white. Churchill got it right...

Polls are fun, like Poll question: Most Detested Politician Of All Time

At post time, Pol Pot has just one vote, two votes less than Nixon and Reagan. Hitler has 53 votes. Do you really need me to tell you who's far in the lead with 81 votes? Hint for those not familiar with DU: Stalin, for one reason or another, is not on the list.

And, finally, we come to "I do believe it's time for FCC restrictions,...restrictions on hate."

What O'Reilly and Coulter and Hannity and Limbaugh et al spread is hate. They spread hatred against fellow Americans!!!! It's bad enough they spread hate against people outside this nation. But, they advance hatred within our own borders: HATE of dissidents, HATE of "liberals", HATE of non-Christians, HATE of Democrats, HATE of truth-bearers, HATE of soldiers who don't toe-the-line, HATE of inquisitive minds, HATE of compassionate advocates for human rights, HATE of those fighting for civil rights, HATE for the poor and disenchanted and sensitive, HATE HATE HATE!!!!

These people are making a living from spreading HATE!!!

They should be restricted. Yes. I do believe hate-profiteering should have strict limits.
