Mike Malloy satirically suggested killing Muslims

Perhaps this was the real reason Mike Malloy was fired from Air America Radio. From the Monday, August 28 show where he was filling in for Randi Rhodes comes this purported transcript (via this):

Ray: You were asking for a conservative or a bush supporter to call so I just thought I'd call.

Mike [Malloy]: Well, thanks. Have a great day. What are you calling about?

Ray: Well, I support the president and I'm thankful there's a conservative in the white house during these times when terrorists want to kill us because we're not Muslim.

Mike: Wow. Is that why they hate us? Because we're not Muslims?

...Ray: Don't you think we should get them before they get us?

Mike: Oh yeah, that makes sense. Let's go kill... I'll tell you what. Where do you live? You live in New Jersey, Ray?

Ray: Yeah, I live in..

Mike: Are there any Muslims in New Jersey?

Ray: I'm sure that there are.

Mike: Okay, why don't you find some and kill them?

Ray: I'm in the northeast area in New Jersey.

Mike: Frankly I don't care where you live in New Jersey. I'm just saying, next time you see a Muslim why not blow, why not kill him?

This isn't the first time Malloy has "joked" like this; see "Mike Malloy advocates violence against blogger".

I listened to that show. I think everyone gets the satire (except perhaps wingnuts).

It's a valid point. Wingnuts in this country want to talk about killing ragheads and fighting the "Islamofascists" as well as suggesting that we create a Muslim only airline. Or, at the very least create seperate lines for Muslims.

I have heard many, many ultra wingnuts call for the killing, even the nuking of Muslims.

Is it really that far of a stretcht to suggest to these blood thirsty killers that if they want to kill Muslims so bad then why don' they? Muslims are all around us in America and all over the world.

And P.S. not all Muslims are brown or black.

So when Ann "the man" Coulter said of the Muslims, ...we should kill all their leaders and turn them into Christians.., that was just funnin'? That's how true Christians act?

Ann Coulter was just loopy from not having eaten anything... since 1997.
