I’m more than willing to consider someone else’s point of view, when it's actually based on reality, however, when that point of view consists of scapegoating minorities and homosexuals for all that ills this country, well, my tolerance for that sort of hateful bullshit has reached its end.
Socialism, like capitalism, (or any form of governance for that matter – with, I think, the exception of Nazism.) can be used as both a tool of good or ill. However, within the US, outside of small, usually collegiate circles, a real socialist movement does not exist. And where they do, they are hardly violent, and do not espouse violence as a tool of protest or an impetus for change.

And weren't the few who did hurt by that silly move to get the national guard to put them down some decades ago?
Anyway, I found it very amusing to see FN talking about a tax evasion "mass movement" on yesterday's
the daily show episode. They've completely lost their marbles, apparently. Oh, and you really shouldn't forget about Glenn Beck in that list of yours. I really found his "
questioning" of that muslim congressman's "loyalty" to the USA particularly disturbing (which he did while still at CNN). His move to FN seems logical in that manner.
