Body Count: The File. Beck vs. Limbaugh, O'Reilly, and Hannity.

[skip fox]

Can we create a file titled The Body Count for DU in which we list names with links concerning those who have killed or wounded someone due directly to a media personality's hate-mongering?

We could list personalities (Beck, etc.) and then have categories for "certain influence" and "probably influence."

I'd be glad to maintain it an post every time we have another unfortunate incident.

For instance:

Bill O'Reilly. Certain Influence. Murder by Scott Roeder of Dr. George Tiller, abortion provider, June 1, 2009:

Glenn Beck. Certain Influence. Bryon Williams' shoot-out with two policemen while on his way to ACLU and Tides, July 30, 2010:

Right-Wing Media in General. Possible Influence: Murder while stealing and caching guns to over-throw government, July 31, 2010:

1. I'll probably try to find a standard source (major nat. newspaper) and then

sources in which the connection is made or strongly suspected. (Interviews with family, co-workers, etc.)
