No joke. Go to youtube, type in Bill Oreilly and Tiller and see for yourself. Fox News, and in particular Bill O the clown, had raised the level of real vile rhetoric so much that I don't see how it couldn't have had an effect. Like most of the caustic schit that comes out of the whacked out far right media the lowest common denominator toolboxes like Roeder eat it up...and you have the results we see from the angry right in this country. It was no secret that Roeder was a regular Factor watcher and even tried recruiting Billo the Clown for one of those fascist anti choice rallies held by Operation Blow Up Clinics or one of those batty groups.
