After Sunday’s mass shooting at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church liberal bloggers need to take a stand against violent rhetoric!

I’m talking about some of the big blogs like Open Left, MyDD My Direct Democrat, Daily Kos.

Quote from Jeffrey Feldman at Frameshop. “Now is the time for influential progressive bloggers who have not done so to put up a post that is 100% and clearly against violent rhetoric, and to state emphatically that it is an intolerable threat against women, gays, lesbians, people of color, and anyone else who voices their political views.

Now is the time to strongly state that everyone in the netroots should work together to curb this problem.

That is the kind of strong message we need from front page bloggers in response to a right-winger walking into a liberal church and killing people after leaving a note saying he hates liberals and gays.

The leaders of the netroots communities that give us all a place to participate must come together and stand united on this issue.”

What do you think? This is a free country, right? or left?
