I don't get much hate mail. I might get one
piece every two months or so, and it usually just tells me I'm stupid.
But then I don't have Bill O'Reilly
stirring up the nativists, either. It's really disturbing to see the
kind of mail that Markos gets. I know why liberals are angry...look at
the economy, for starters. But why are Bill O'Reilly's listeners so
angry? What explains the hatred of so many people on the right?

And, to be honest, I don't think this is an unusual situation. There
seems to always be a certain percentage of people, in every country,
that basically feel like Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter do (or say
they do). It only becomes a serious problem when the group grows large
enough to start putting their enemies up against the wall. As Roger Waters put it:

Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!
That one looks Jewish!
And that one's a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There's one smoking a joint,
And another with spots!
If I had my way,
I'd have all of you shot!

I mean, how is that any different from what people are writing to Markos?
