Unfortunately, he failed to make the connection between the false notions that underline the rage and his own cohorts on Fox like O'Reilly and Beck who fuel it. It's hard to believe that isn't some connection between their self-serving bombast and this:
The SPLC has been tracking hate groups for almost 30 years. In its spring 2009 Intelligence Report, they found that 926 hate groups are currently operating in the U.S., an all-time high. These groups include the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis, racist skinheads and Black separatists.And of course one can't discount the GOP's ongoing contribution to the culture of hate and Fox's complicity in giving Republicans an open forum to outright lie on air without challenge. But to be fair, it's not just Fox that is guilty of that sin of omission. We could add nearly every major media outlet to that list.
