It's a start.

Seriously though, most people I know don't play the race card. Not just white people.

No, just giving the mirror image of what the other poster said.

Hey, I don't like any of the right-wing nutjobs who get in front of a microphone, but I think the OP is hyperventilating if he thinks an opposing political view, vehemently expressed, is hate. My God, I though George Bush should have been wearing a dunce cap most of his tenure in the White House, but I couldn't believe some of things people said when attacking him.

Thank was really interesting, thanks for posting it.

I've always known about the connection between the "talk" and the "simple minded", nobody can deny it and the "talkers" actually do understand it and use it to their advantage. Simple minded doesn't mean stupid, but it does mean SIMPLE. They only know what they know, and can't imagine anything else is relevant. That might work in their life but when you are dealing with the bigger issues nothing is simple, and that is when some people get lost. It's nicer to keep your mind on what you can understand and what has worked for you in your own life and nearly impossible to grasp that it just might not work in all situations, for all people, or that things not known or understood by you could have an impact.

I'm going to check that book out too.

The rise of hate?!

This crap has been going on in this and other countries for centuries. Is this boob going to blame the "Irish need not apply" signs of 19th century Boston on Rush and Sean too?

This is exactly why more people listen to me pass wind than they do mediums like Air America.

There are a lot more than one and if you'd pay half as much attention to what a poster actually posted instead of constantly bleeting your talking points you would realize that.

We don't have to go to a Nazi camp to understand the rise of Hitler and the Third Reich. We can study the methods that they used to desensitize people to the atrocities that they were about to commit and the atrocities that they did commit.

It all starts with identifying scapegoats, starting to blame the scapegoats for one's woes, and then finally brainwashing segments of the population to think that they are morally and ethically better than the scapegoats; that the scapegoats shouldn't even exist. Again, it starts with taking a group of people and making them "less" than you are, making them less human, less worthy of existance. Once this is accomplished, all sorts of violence and hate can be perpetrated with little regret or remorse.

The Rise of Hate in America

No troll here.
There is way too much hate mongering in the U.S. and these people are
more than willing to dish it out.
If they insist on hating someone they could start with Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld who got us in to the quagmire in Iraq. They are behind the 9/11
cover-up, as well.

I agree. The ironic thing is that we keep hearing the term, "messiah" brought up over and over again, yet liberals are supposedly all "godless" (as coined by Ann Coulter), thus meaning, that they supposedly believe in no deity, so how could they believe in a messiah? Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me either.

But who cares, we're not looking for logic, only effect.
