Very informative article and definitely explains much of the denial that you see posted on these boards.

"While finding comfort in the identification of submissive behavior towards authority, the authoritarian person directs his/her aggression towards other groups, often racial minorities. This is an attempt to relieve the feeling of personal weakness with a search for absolute answers and strengths in the outside world."

According to Adorno, the authoritarian personality is expressed essentially by:
Excessive conformity
Intolerance
Insecurity
Rigid, stereotyped thought patterns
Submissiveness to authority
Superstition

Newsflash: right-wingers, left-wingers and all wingers in between believe exactly the same thing about themselves; namely that they're the truly 'normal' & 'good' ones.

Only a select few -such as I- know the Real Truth; You ALL suck!
