While the hate merchants of the right for the most part continue to endeavor to disclaim any responsibility for the role that they and those like them played in setting the stage for last week's deadly rampage in Norway, it is worth taking a look at the victims of Breivik's hate inspired shooting spree and bombing. The youngest victim so far identified on the BBC's website is 14 year old Sharidyn Svebakk-Boehn (above left). 
The BBC is updating the article as more victims are identified and photos made available. I have include photos of two other victims - Margrethe Boeyum Kloeven and Diderik Aamodt Olsen - both under age 20. I urge readers to visit the article and witness the consequences of hate sppech - hate speech often delivered to enrich the hate merchants and/or their organizations.

Yes, Breivik detonated the bomb and pulled the trigger, but others set the stage that helped convince him that he was acting in a necessary manner. Hate speech and constant screeds against other be they liberal, Muslim or LGBT has consequences. The Maggie Gallaghers, Tony Perkins, Ruben Diazs, Don Wildmons, and anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim hate merchants such as Rep. Peter King need to be confronted with the fruits of their vile work.

Words do not begin to convey my disgust for people who denigrate others for profit and to stroke their own very sick and warped psyches that require that others be inferior so that these individuals can feel self-congratulatory. It is sickening.

I want to thank you for bringing some focus to the victims and the tragic loss of life. You are very correct that it is sickening how some would exploit a tragedy such as this for their own twisted agenda.
