I'm not talking about condoning after the fact, I'm talking about providing an environment that fosters and even accepts these extremists. Of those 70,000 or less people, I doubt many of them are crazy enough to commit acts of terrorism, but every time you see a death threat or an instance of massive, godwin hyperbole, you're seeing an environment that fosters violent extremism. Do you think it's a coincidence that these terrorists watch Beck and BillO and such?
