The American Family Association runs 200 radio stations, has a monthly paper publication that goes to several hundred thousand people, and the email list has 3.4 million subscribers who receive their "action alerts". This isn't a small group.
I don't understand why it's acceptable for these groups to openly advocate crimes and get away with it just because they're right wing and Christian. They rile up their followers with crosshairs stamped on pictures of politicians and action alerts about kidnapping children, and when it really happens they act all indignant and say "we didn't really mean that literally!"

In current day America it is acceptable *because* they are right-wing, Christian and white. If a black person, an atheist or a liberal suggested anything *remotely* like that, the GOP would pass a law that very day mandating the rounding up and incarceration of every single member of that group.

"People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett)
