Rage on the Extreme Right

http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2010/spring/rage-on-the-right

What is scary about most of these extremist groups is that are not well educated, are not critical thinkers, and are fueled by their intense fears and overt or latent racism. They have a tendency to get their information from each other, extreme religious dogma, or “Infotainment” hosts like Beck, Coulter, and Limbaugh. I could give them more credibility if they could put aside their hate, fear, and racism and perform some real objective intellectual research into the facts. The operative words are “Intellectual”, “Objective”, and having the brain power, and the will to question and think critically. Unfortunately the above can be said for people on any spectrum of the political scale who is ill informed, not informed, or lacks the intellectual skills to critically and abstractly understand the issues.
