On Dec. 17, 2012, just days after the Newtown, CT shooting tragedy that killed 20 children and 6 adults, Roger Hedgecock, conservative talk radio host and former mayor of San Diego, California, responded on his show by blaming "liberals", Democrats in general, political correctness, and added a comparison of President Obama to Hitler. This video contains audio from Hedgecock's talk show on station 760 KFMB AM in San Diego on that day:
"Funny how all of these school massacres occur...in blue states."
"I am so tired of this politically correct society, it is producing these killers. I want to say that as clearly as I can. I think this politically correct society, after 50, 60 years of this stuff, is producing these killers. It is the product of political correctness."
On the Newtown, CT shooting again: "Liberals, you own this. Your gun-free zone has killed people...Liberals, you have caused these people to die. "
On Hitler: "In 1932 the man was simply bringing hope and change to Germany."
