I think the point has been made that this incident had nothing to do with talk radio. The entire notion was a projection of anti-talk radio activists pushing thier beliefs onto an unrelated incident in order to push thier feelings into the mainstream. People interviewed who knew the shooter said he was not into talk radio, and he was just a nutjob.
Many folks who hear radio programs or tv shows that push an agenda or ideals different than thier own feel those with the opposing views are hate pushers, fearmongers, or worse... pushing violence and revolution through ideas that don't match thier own.
Nutjobs come in all shapes and sizes, all political wings and all religions.
In America, we have the freedom to speak out when our Government is not doing what we think is the right thing, or is diminishing our freedoms. There was no shortage of this speech during Bush II, and there is no shortage of it during Obama.
