Who says conservative media personalities don't traffic in violent rhetoric?

While discussing the recently announced plans of the American Society for Muslim Advancement and Cordoba Initiative “to build a community center two blocks away from Ground Zero in New York City that would include 'a mosque, performance art center, gym, swimming pool and other public spaces,'" right-wing Houston radio host Michael Berry said, “I'll tell you this: If you do build a mosque, I hope somebody blows it up.”

ThinkProgress.org's Amanda Terkel writes:

On Wednesday, a man named “Tony” called into the KTRH-AM (Houston, TX) radio show of right-wing radio host Michael Berry in support of the Muslim center. First, Berry asked the caller whether “Tony” was his real name, because with his accent, he didn't “sound like a 'Tony.'” He repeatedly tried to link to the mosque to terrorists, eventually saying that if the mosque is built, he hopes someone blows it up:

BERRY: No, Tony, you can't build a mosque at the site of 9/11.

TONY: Why not? Why not?

BERRY: No, you can't. And I'll tell you this: If you do build a mosque, I hope somebody blows it up. … I hope the mosque isn't built, and if it is, I hope it's blown up. And I mean that. … It's right-wing radicals like me that are going to keep this country safe for you and everyone else from the people who are flying the planes from the country you fled from. If you want to identify with those people, go live with them.
