Calling for a Round Up of Individuals is Hate Speech in and of Itself

Via David Codrea’s blog, in a post titled Round Up ‘Hate Speech’ Promoters?, we are made aware that Bonnie Erbe, a contributing editor at U.S. News & World Report, and blogger at Thomas Jefferson Street Blog, is calling for a preemptive round up of “promoters of hate” in response to the recent Holocaust Museum shooting in a piece titled Round Up Hate-Promoters Now, Before Any More Holocaust Museum Attacks.

Isn’t it time we started rounding up promoters of hate before they kill?

David Codrea dissects Ms. Erbe’s blatant call for facist/communist/Nazi style actions at the Examiner.com, but I’ll state a few thoughts of my own in regards to Ms. Erbe’s atrocious and dangerous suggestion for rounding up individuals and locking them away as some type of preemptive measure.

Ms. Erbe’s suggestion is not eerily reminiscent of past events, it is exactingly reminiscent of the type of calls heard in the past from repressive governments desiring complete control over individuals’ lives.  The Germans: round up the Jews, homosexuals, the gypsies, the mentally deficient, any dissenters of Nazism.  The Russians:  Round up the Jews, the dissenters of Marxism and Communism, soldiers who were taken prisoner of war in WWII, the scientists, the kulaks, etcetera, etcetera.  The Americans (after Pearl Harbor):  Round up the Japanese.

Ms. Erbe’s suggestion to round up ‘hate speech’ promoters is hate speech in and of itself, and she should be thoroughly chastised for verbalizing such a thought.  This chastising will not come from her comrades in the media though, it will only come from individuals, such as myself I would think, whom Ms. Erbe desires to be rounded up.

UPDATE:  Mike Vanderboegh, at the blog Sipsey Street Irregulars, responds to Erbe’s round up suggestion via email direct to Ms. Erbe.  Link to Vanderboegh’s response via Billy Beck.
