The "Why" of the Radical Right This blog has often documented what the radical right has said and done. Here are some links that explain why they do it:
1) (via Orcinus) Bob Altemayer's book
The Authoritarians is available online. It's a quick read. It expands on the work of
Adorno and
Hofstadter. Altemayer was an influence on John Dean's book
Conservatives without Conscience.
2)
Jeffrey Feldman on the violent rhetoric of Dinesh D'Souza.
3) (via
Roger Ailes) George Archibald on
the meltdown at the Moonie Times.
UPDATE: Also, check out Joe Conason's new book
It Can Happen Here: Authoritarian Peril in the Age of Bush.
ADDITIONAL UPDATE: I checked my Sitemeter stats and someone from the Washington Times came to this site based on
a Google Blog search of the phrase "Moonie Times."
