Episode 110 - Tuscon Tragedy, Gun Laws and Changing Political Talk

Podcast Episode Summary

PoliTalk was created over two years ago by two best friends (on different sides of the political aisle) sick of the inflamatory, hyperbolic, hateful political rhetoric. Political talk continues to spin out of control. Tuscon may be the tombstone for civility in this country. Jeff and Glenn start the show by talking about the politics of hate and then find their way into a deep and provocative dialogue on gun control, maybe setting an example about how we can disagree without being disagreeable...and even laughing a few times. When it comes to the policies of tragedy, sweeping laws have been enacted in reaction to specific events (Brady Bill, TSA, Homeland Security, Warrantless Wiretapping). What laws, if any, need to be looked at in light of this tragedy? Or do we all need to take more responsibility in the way we talk with and to each other about the pressing problems we face as a country? Always irreverent and engaging, it's PoliTalk -- your weekly political podcast.
