Jasmyne Cannick : "'Kill Tookie Hour' Crosses the Line"

Convicted murderer Stanley “Tookie” Williams is a current cause celebre of the Left. Talk Radio hosts John and Ken, however, have designated the hour of their show starting at 5:00 every day as the "Kill Tookie Hour." Blogger Jasmyne Cannick is outraged and probably feels the following is a convincing argument:
If any other radio station set aside an hour as “Kill President Bush” and set forth in that hour to incite a riot among people and to call for the death of the President, you best believe the Federal Communication Commission would be all over that station. Fines and penalties would be assessed and Bush supporters everywhere would be calling for the yanking of that stations license.
Everyone who commented on her post so far defends John and Ken. It just warms the cockles of your heart. Afterthought: For those of you who find his nickname vaguely familiar but can't figure out why, "tooki" is Hebrew for parrot.
