After the shooting of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords (D-AZ), we were all admonished to be civil. No more violent rhetoric (not that that had inspired the shooter). Of course, that turned out to be just another left-liberal and neocon trick, since the nastiest, violence-inducing rhetoric ever used by the mainstream is being deployed against Ron Paul. His crime? Being a man of peace, opposing the CIA-Pentagon-merchants of death junta that runs so much of the US government, for opposing imperialism, and more wars of aggression. Launching such a war was the first crime against humanity defined at Nuremberg. Yet the gentle man, the opponent of militarism, corporatism, and the police state, Ron Paul, is being compared to Adolf Hitler in such publications as the Wall Street Journal. Are the neocons calling for violence?
