I see things on DU (today for example...another thread) all the time that are driven by fear and ignorance, and some of the things I see are chilling.

It does seem to be more prevalent in conservatives. And I agree that a lot of it is driven by hate media. But liberals have "haters" too. Just not as many as conservatives.
