What is ironic is that the VIRULENT hatred of those policies and programs scorned as "liberal" (or "progressive" or "Democratic") only rise to the actionable level, by Right-Wing gunmen, during times of economic crisis (which is to say, high and pervasive unemployment) - they have been PROPAGANDIZED to believe that High Unemployment ONLY occurs because of "liberal interference" in so called 'free markets.'
(Actually, prior to the century of liberal and progressive reforms, 1900-1999, recessions, economic contractions, and "PANICS" as they were called then, happened frequently, and often resulted in near famine, starvation conditions for settlers on the frontier who had poor crop harvests, not to mention the urban thousands crammed into dismal, filthy, crowded tenament slums, who no sanitation or clean water, much less social safety nets.)
Timmy McVeigh had been unable to find a job during the Bush-1 Recession...
(brought about by the twin economic hammers of Right-Wing DEREGULATION of the Savings & Loan banks - an open invitation to fraud by connected inside bankers - and the subsequent BAILOUTS of those fraudulent bankers who drove their banks into bankruptcy, which sucked even more money "discretionary income" OUT of the pockets of working Americans forced to pay higher taxes to pay for both those S&K "bailouts"... AND INTEREST on the "bailouts" government DEBT - the now 'NORMAL' means by which "elite" bankers first defraud consumers, then EXTORT taxpayers),
...and the straw that drove the MERITORIOUS COMBAT soldier, involuntarily discharged Gulf War 1 VETERAN to a criminal lifestyle was when Army paymaster bureaucrats sent the discharged and chronically unemployed (which is to say, destitute) McVeigh a letter saying they had accidentally "overpaid" him $1,000; , and that he now owed Uncle sam's Army $1,000 in overpay - a sum of money McVeigh found daunting and impossible to find in RECESSION riddled America of the early 1990s.
As we have reported here before, the straw that drove a Tennessee gunman over the edge, to where he attempted a MASS-MURDEROUS attack on a Knoxville "multicultural" ("liberal") church in 2006, was that his food stamps had been cut off after (despite!) extended unemployment.
In both cases, loner and unemployed White males have been DEMAGOGUED to HATE the very social safety net programs, which could have made their unemployment more bearable!
This IS the TREASONOUS agenda of the Sulzberger New York Times, and Meyer/Graham/ Weymouth Washington Post: imply that the GREAT WEALTH of America should NOT "trickle down" to the needy and unemployed (or even working poor and middle-class)
(including their slow-burn relentless assault on Social Security and affordable public access to health care),
in order that the wealthy elites may AMASS EVER MORE wealth and power, as INEQUALITY in America soars to the levels of European feudal and "divine right of king" monarchy eras.
(As in, the era before the American Revolution when kings and nobles with totalitarian, dictatorial powers could shout "off with their heads!" and have their opponents arrested and executed, with no opposition party tolerated whatsoever.)
And, don't forget: It was SO-CALLED "liberal" CNN cable 'news' network - owned by Time/WARNER company (the Polish Jewish immigrant Wonskolaser brothers established Warner Studios in 1918 after several earlier businesses dating to 1903 on the East Coast) - which found Glenn Beck's APPEAL to HATRED, PARANOIA, and RESENTMENT so appealing in the first place, it was "liberal" (NOT!) CNN which snatched Glenn Beck from the relative obscurity of his regional AM radio shock-jock show, and GAVE HIM a NATIONAL AUDIENCE, before the "heat" of hosting Glen Beck became too hot for the pretentiously "respectable" CNN (i.e., high-brow NY/DC Neo-Con demagogue warmongers, & hatemongers), and Beck was next snatched up by the more blatantly low-brow, Rupert Murdoch owned "we incite murder" Fox 'News' Corp.

http://rackjite.com/archives/6300-Researching-David-Brocks-Accusations-that-Glenn-Beck-is-Responsible-for-3-murder-attempts.htmlWith Roger Ailes at Fox News telling his gang of angry hate mongers to cool it or else. It now seems possible that Glenn Beck, after having lost more than 100 advertisers, could receive that "or else." And more importantly, after you are fired from FOX for being too much of a Right-wing nutcake, where do you go? He is already losing radio syndication in major markets. And boy is the mainstream media staying away from this one! Wooooooo E
postscript: In an America filled with insidious ('mainstream media' oh-so-respectable) Right-Wing calls to hate - and ever larger WAR and BAILOUTS "off balance sheet" budgets - we will try to return to this post, and try to highlight or list several of the other RIGHT-WING HATE WHIPPED gunmen of the past decade, including Timmy McVeigh, the gunman who killed Dr. George Tiller, the bomber who murdered and attempted mass murder at the Atlanta Olympics (Eric Rudolph), the gunman who shot and killed Arkansas Dem. Party Chairman Bill Gwatney, the Tennessee church shooter, etc.
Because, you know, BY THEIR SILENCE, and their cutsey refusal to pin the real blame for financial sabotage and economic destruction where it belongs (among their own elite multi-millionare & billionaire "private fortunes" financial class) the Neo-Con Sulzberger New York Slimes, the Meyer/Graham/Weymouth "Pravda on the Potomac" Washington Post, and CNN/Time/Warner bros. media empires TOLERATE, IF NOT APPROVE of, American's current reign of Brown-Shirt hate, resentment, simmering violence, political intimidation, looted treasuries, larcenous finance, & social program gutting demagogues.
