There's a tendency to dismiss the rhetoric of far-right buffoons like Pills Limpalls, Bill O'Liely, and Manatee Hannity as transparent nonsense. Yes, they are faithfully followed by extreme wingers, but most sane people find them to be a bad joke. However, in the case of the deranged Fux host Boo Hoo Beck, his particularly extremist message may trigger acts of violence from the far right, according to a new report.
In the report by the Anti-Defamation League, Boo Hoo is singled out as the "fearmonger in chief" driving anti-Government and anti-Obama rage among the most unhinged in our society through the wildest conspiracy theories, comparisons of the President with Hitler, and a steady stream of falsehoods and misinformation. As the report states:
"Ultimately, this anti-government anger, if it continues to grow in intensity and scope, may result in an increase in anti-government extremists and a potential for a rise of violent anti-government acts."Let's hope there's never another Oklahoma City-type act of domestic violence, but should that awful crime be repeated, we know who provided the matches.
