Tom DeLay has NOT ruled out violence against judges [View All]

[GarySeven]

Yesterday, when Tom Delay said the "time will come" for the people (judges) "responsible" for Terri Schiavo's death "will pay," Sen. Ted Kennedy - a man who knows a little about political violence - said that, in the wake of the murder of a judge in Atlanta and the murder of a judge's family in Illinois, Delay should clarify his remarks to make it clear he was NOT advocating violence.

Delay has - quite noticibly - NOT issued such a clarifying statement.

To conservatives, who practice a "culture of revenge" by issuing threats and promising retribution anytime something doesn't go their way, this silence will be significant.

Remember when Wayne LaPierre called federal agents "jack booted thugs"? A little while later a conservative wacko blew up the Murrah building in OKC.

Words have consequences, and you can bet conservatives know this better than anyone.
