Michael Reagan Calls for the Murder of Americans




Far, FAR right-wing extremist and radio talk show host Michael Reagan, the adopted son of former President Ronnie Raygun, has recently called for the murder of Mark Dice and other individuals in the 9/11 truth movement. Reagan's death threats were aired Tuesday, June 10th during the second hour. Reagan called for the murder of Mark Dice and 9/11 truther movement activists after hearing that Dice is mailing letters and DVDs to troops in Iraq. Reagan even stated that he wants to pay for the bullets.

Transcript of Reagan’s statements:
Reagan: "Excuse me folks, I’m going to say this. We ought to find the people who are doing this, take them out and shoot them. Really. You take them out, they are traitors to this country, and shoot them. You have a problem with that? Deal with it. You shoot them. You call them traitors, that’s what they are, and you shoot them dead. I’ll pay for the bullets."

Reagan adds, "How about you take Mark Dice out and put him in the middle of a firing range. Tie him to a post, don’t blindfold him, let it rip and have some fun with Mark Dice."
Dice is demanding that Reagan be fired immediately. “Calling for the murder of someone because you disagree with their political stance is absolutely unacceptable, un-American, and possibly illegal,” says Dice.

Dice has filed a report with the FBI and is considering legal action against Reagan.

Dice’s organization, The Resistance, has launched a campaign to send documentary films and declassified documents to U.S. troops who are stationed in Iraq to inform them that the 9/11 attacks were aided by elements within the U.S. government.

Personal Comments (Dr. Matt): Now, I am no fan of the 9/11 truth movement and I am not involved in their campaign. However, I am very concerned when someone uses public airwaves to issue death threats against someone they do not agree with. We all know this is nothing new for the right-wing (for example, here, here, here, here to name a few). However, we also know that the right-wing loons that listen to AM hate radio extremists are fragile enough to follow through with such a request. I hope and pray that Reagan is fired, arrested, tried, and convicted.
