Hate, Hate, and more Hate... |

That is what Palin, Bachmann, Bohener, etc are all about. Polarization, Hate, and more Power for them.. It is what Hitler, Stalin and so on were always about. Hate, Hate, and more Hate..
I read today that a cab driver was attacked for being Muslim Oh, the Palins, Bachmanns, Limbaughs, will say they had nothing to do with it. "Isolated Incident" they will say.

1. Republicans and hate radio are one in the same. |
|
Republicans benefit from the hate being spewed by rush, sean, mike, laura, glenn, and the rest of the klan, therefore they are one in the same.

2. Hatred is rapidly becoming the #1 product in the US followed by ignorance. This hatred in this |
|
country directed toward one group after another is dangerous. Exactly, it is the same tactics used by Hitler, Stalin and the like. I'm old now, and I see this country as now going through its most dangerous time in history. The 7x24 pounding of hatred ringing out in this country needs to stop, but hatred is embraced. Many citizens choose, apparently, to be ignorant and gullible. It's become all about fear driving hatred.

is overwhelming from them. Many accept this as truth and many outside the USA see us as hate filled.
Fortunately, our President stands for the opposite, and that helps a whole lot. But I am frightened that this hatred will come back to us. And it represents a growing but loud, very loud minority that owns some powerful media outlets. I am worried too.

6. What is scary is the way it has been allowed into mainstream |
|
discourse and the manner in which extremists have effecctively captured a major political party. Republican leaders not only have no shame in taking racist, xenophobic (and unconstitutional) positions, they openly associate with and publicly lend a sympathetic ear to white supremacists, Islamaphobes, and those who advocate violence against and legal restrictions on various minorities. And no one calls them on it!

5. One result is the recent explosion in extremist groups |

It's worth looking at what the Southern Poverty Law Center has found: Rage on the Right The Year in Hate and Extremismhttp://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2010/spring/rage-on-the-rightIronically, just as I was about to post this, I noticed this thread that was just posted in GD: Pastor says armed militia to protect church during Quran-burning eventhttp://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x9015058
