NEW YORK - With a trio of guilty verdicts yesterday, the U.N. tribunal for Rwanda has established that men armed only with words can commit genocide.

Hateful words a war crime

Elitist RATS are holding RALLYS because they can't contain their hate anymore. Can they all be thrown behind bars?

Just a small Christmas wish...
