I’m currently watching Dave Niewart’s appearance on Anderson Cooper, where he’s talking about the phenomenon of the Lone Wolf gunman/terrorist. It seems that their panic at finding themselves in a country led by a black Democrat leads to an increase in violent incidents like the shooting at the Holocaust Museum. I’m currently gathering links to “wingnut hysteria” on del.icio.us, because I’m thinking of listing pairs of words that describe extremists at both ends of the religio-political spectrum.
