A "Progressive" forgets that his hate must be camouflaged

He calls for "global warming deniers" to be killed. The full text of the post on Talking Points Memo is reproduced below. The entry was posted under the anonymous but appropriate byline "The Insolent Braggart". Talking Points Memo is often cited as a website that helps set the agenda for the political Left in the U.S.
At what point do we jail or execute global warming deniers?

What is so frustrating about these fools is that they are the politicians and greedy bastards who don't want a cut in their profits who use bogus science or the lowest scientists in the gene pool who will distort data for a few bucks. The vast majority of the scientific minds in the World agree and understand it's a very serious problem that can do an untold amount of damage to life on Earth.

So when the right wing f*cktards have caused it to be too late to fix the problem, and we start seeing the devastating consequences and we start seeing end of the World type events - how will we punish those responsible. It will be too late. So shouldn't we start punishing them now?

There was a big outcry about this naked Stalinism so TPM have now taken the entry down but many conservative bloggers copied it before that. The author concerned has now apologized and retracted, perhaps realizing that incitement to violence is a prosecutable offence. So he did eventually get around to putting his camouflage on.
