4. It's like the rise of the Klan
in earlier times. Or the rise of Hitler.

Only now Fox news is the sponsor. I think I read on another DU post that Frum said the GOP thought Fox News worked for them; now it seems that the GOP works for Fox News.

I remember a film about the Nuremburg trials. As I remember it, a German judge on trial (played by Burt Lancaster) says that when Hitler's brown shirts first exercised their muscle, he and other judges thought that the brown shirts were doing what the judges wanted; later the judges realized that they had to do what the brown shirts wanted.

The United States is in danger of becoming controlled by Murdoch IMO. So ironic that the tea baggers who are being manipulated by Fox and who yell about the consitution are helping to destroy it.
