The Right foments group resentment in increasingly apocalyptic terms, to people in need of easy answers in an era of widespread joblessness and uncertainty.

Jared Loughner’s attempted assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is a wakeup call for us to confront the reality that hate and violence are encoded in the political DNA of the American Right.

Since Obama took office in January 2009, there have been seven separate cases of disturbed white men committing political murders after becoming hopped up on guns, right-wing media and anti-government and anti-Obama blather. And this doesn’t even include Loughner’s attack or other incidents where the gunman was intent on killing but didn’t succeed.

2. K&R- They are part of America. period. We have been at war with someone

ot other for some reason or other for over 90% of our entire history, few of them actually justified.
We are GREAT haters for any and every reason.
We tend to believe our own bullshit.
We lie to our own people all the time.
We LOVE violence and irrational ideas and behavior and we HATE anyone or anything different from the "norm".

We have been this way since before we were a country, and will stay this way for the forseeable future.
