Interesting op piece BUT could this be true ALL across America?

Do the White Thing: The Rise of Militant Conservatives
There was a riot in Stamford Connecticut, yesterday. The trouble started on the Crestwood Golf Course when corporate executive Howard "Howie" Thurston III got a call on his cell that his Viagra would no longer be covered under his health insurance policy. Enraged, Thurston slung his golf club, accidentally knocking Charles "Chuckster" Winchester off of his golf cart. This started a melee that quickly spilled into the streets of Stamford as a crowd of mostly white middle class rioters began smashing windows at Saks, grabbing Prada pumps, Gucci handbags and everything else they could get their hands on as African Americans and Latinos sat by their televisions shaking their heads in amazement.
Seems like the GOP is morphing from the Grand Ole Party to the Gangsta Ole Party.

Even the most hardcore rappers are kicking back watching Fox News with note pads getting ideas for lyrics.

    That's some funny shit, but I rather doubt it actually happened. It'd be all over the news and nobody would need to ask if it really happened. Though the militant right movement is definitely growing, and it's some scary shit.

    With the likes of Glen Beck you can see how there's a rise in militant conservatives. It's no wonder Glenn Beck went over to Fox News much more of a comfort zone on that network.
    On June 30, 2009, Glen Beck concurred with his guest’s advocacy of a terrorist attack against the United States in order to advance a radical right wing political agenda. Here’s the full quote [video]:

    “The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States. Because it’s going to take a grassroots, bottom-up pressure, because these politicians prize their office, prize the praise of the media and the Europeans. Only — it’s an absurd situation. Again, only Osama can execute an attack which will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently, and with as much violence as necessary.”

    Also what he has to say here.....

    Beck is so nuts even Fox News is releasing statements saying he doesn't speak for them... they don't want to be associated with his views.

    Glenn Beck is a lunatic, makes Hannity almost look human and almost makes Bill O seem sincere.

    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

    I swear, some of the people I've seen in an uproar over things lately totally (albeit perhaps with a little embellishment ;)) fit into this group.
