Mr. Moran,
Your loyalty to your brother is most admirable (I too am pretty much a lone conservative in a family of Democrats/liberals, I might add), but it is blinding you to his blind hatred of politically incorrect "oppressor groups" - whites, males, rich people, Evangelicals and Republicans.
I think posts 31 and 32 spelled out the hate in his posts well. I think we all concede that Terry has enough mastery of the language not to blurt out bluntly "those evil Nazi/bigoted/racist/sexist/homophobic Republinazi rich whiteboy crackers deserved what they got", but underneath the flowery language, that is clearly what thousands (probably hundreds of thousands of people, thanks to Drudge) picked up.
If you think your brother is not guilty of this far left bigotry, please provide us with some evidence. Because what he wrote in that post is pretty damning.

Rick,
What your brother said WAS hate speech. But it was against a politically correct "oppressor" group -- white males. Therefore, in the morally warped world your brother and most of the leftist, America-hating media lives in, it was not hate speech.
But to those of us not in the politically correct glass bubble, it WAS hate. A little slicker than Imus to be sure, but hate speech nevertheless.
I venture that if this was not your brother involved, you would be less charitable with the contents of that blog posting.

BTW Rick,
What WOULD it take for you to publicly denounce your brother? What would he have to say that you would consider so outrageous that you would not circle the wagon for him?
Being family does not mean you have to stand up for them in public, right or wrong. Chris Wallace has not been bashful about slamming his dad and his outrageous political views, like his 60 Minutes coddling of Hitler, er, excuse me....Ahmedinejad.

Mr. Moran:
For you to assert that your brother did not employ hate speech but Ann Coulter did, means that you accept the leftists' definition of them term - that only those politically correct "oppressed" groups can be considered the subject of hate -- and then, only when it is hurled by those the media define as "rightist".
How can we hope to defeat the leftists if you are going to accept their terms for how we define what is right and wrong?

Oh, Mr. Moran, one more thing:
You wrote the following:
"Have we really gotten to a point in our national life where if your write or say something people disagree with that you can be canned for it? That’s outrageous. And extraordinarily dangerous. "
That is exactly what has been happening for years in academia, media, Hollywood, and the arts to conservatives, and there is no end to their shunning, slander, character assassination and blacklisting in sight.
Yes, I think we do have to fight back the same way, or we lose. This is a culture war, and I do not believe we can fight it with one hand tied behind our backs while the left gets to use both hands AND brass knuckles.
Not starting with your brother, but I think knocking that ranting, psychotic, irrational, despicable idiot Rosie O'Donnell off the air would be a good start.

The problem with the so-called "news media" today is not that Terry will be fired for his (in my opinion) vile blog entry; it's that he will be lionized and promoted by a morally bankrupt, left-wing, anti-American, anti-all-religion-except-Islam media elite who (apart from FNC) frankly share his view on this almost without exception.
The MSM is so filled with hatred and contempt for conservatives, Republicans, religious Christians and Jews, and even apolitical average Americans that don't toe their line, that anyone seen by these elites as pissing these groups off is a hero.
Just look at how the trade's media publications and websites lionize Keith Uberidiot.
