The many voices of hate

[white cloud]

But this inability to form lasting partnerships does not diminish the efficacy of their ideas. As the Southern Poverty Law Centre has noted, one of the disturbing hallmarks of this recent surge in hate group activity is the "extent to which it has gained support form elected officials and mainstream media outlets." The names are familiar – Glenn Beck, Rick Perry, David Duke, Pat Buchanan, and, until his unexpected departure from CNN, Lou Dobbs are but a few of the mainstream politicians and pundits ensorcelled by this noxious politics.

A variety of dispatches from this realm of the feckless and absurd: Over the summer in Arizona, affiliates of the White Aryan Resistance were indicted for a mail-bombing a diversity office, and the leader the Minuteman American Defense was charged with the murder of a Latino man and his nine-year-old daughter. Currently playing on Youtube screens across the country, Pale Horse, a masked member of the Ohio State Militia, exhorts viewers to stockpile food and purchase assault rifles – like the one he cradles in the video – in preparation for the inevitable, imminent Nazification of the US (the preoccupation that quasi-fascist militias have with a creeping Nazism within the US government is a related, fascinating issue). In Brockton, Massachusetts, on the day after Obama's inauguration, a recently radicalized man perpetrated two race-motivated murders.

The list would be endless if one could stomach an accounting of the innumerable meetings by the KKK and similar groups, the political campaigns motivated by anti-semitism, and "POW" events, where groups of likeminded white-nationalists throw a party to raise money for their incarcerated colleagues, considered casualties of an ongoing race war.

2. tired of the douchebags

It's impossible to debate the hatemongers because they're so convicted in their delusional righteousness. Absence of logic is a lifestyle for these morons.
