Their screeds are a facsimile of reasoned, sensical arguments. They don't know the words, but hum a few bars and they'll fake it.

A great piece (link above) about the right-wing fringe element in this country.

I too am concerned about the especially disgusting rhetoric coming from the extreme right these days. (I don't like the rhetoric from the extreme left, either, but even at the height of their Bush-hate they never suggested a coup.)

At some point the Glen Beck's of the world stopped any pretense of reasoned debate, and simply started pandering. Pandering to an easily manipulated type seeking either validation of their religious or racist views, or just something to get angry about. Honest debate requires critical thinking, and this type has no time for that. For all the propaganda from Beck and Co. trying to equate Obama with Nazi Germany, it is they who are the modern-day Joseph Goebbels.

It only takes one of their drones, armed with a gun or other weapon, to set off this powder keg. That scenario should frighten anybody.
