I suggest you file a complaint with the FCC if you agree with me. On the FCC complaint site it lists "broadcasting threatening or intimidating statements about an individual or group" as a specific violation.

He then went on to say "My concern is that we know who the enemy is and we kill them before they kill us." If that's not threatening language against a group, than I don't know what is.
