Why Are the Corporate Media In Denial About the Right-Wing Terrorist Threat? | Tea Party and the Right | AlterNet:

It is unlikely that the average American would connect Jihad Terrorists like Al Qaeda, the Taliban and similar MIddle Eastern political activist groups, with the Norwegian Islamophobic Christian fundamentalist Anders Behring Breivik, or Jared Lee Loughner who failed in his attempt to assassinate Senator Gabrielle Giffords and yet there is in fact, a strong connection these right wing terrorists and with those who support and promote the ideas that have inspired them. Certainly people like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and the Fox News Network have been instrumental in the inspiration of the current right-wing rhetoric that is now even common[lace on the Republican campaign trail.
The question is "How did we get to where we are"? and how can we reverse direction before it foments mob hysteria and wholesale violence. It seems counter-intuitive to suggest that the "powers that be" like the Wall Street bankers, the Hedge Fund Managers and other leaders of the "Military Industrial Complex" that Dwight Eisenhower warned us about more than fifty years ago and yet it is becoming increasingly likely that "Big Money" is indeed fomenting the right-wing revolt, working towards the dissolution of our already seriously flawed democratic system. Obviously, Homeland Security and the FBI are not interested in biting the hands that feed them, so who or what will stop our home-grown terrorists?
