Angry White Guys

Actually the title is "America’s angriest white men: Up close with racism, rage and Southern supremacy".

As much as I disagree with the hatred and violence associated with the whole racism issue, it's useful to analyze people and their history, feelings, and motivations.

If we're going to build a consensus against criminal bankers, and the MIC, this segment of America could become a powerful ally. When educated, and shown the true forces behind their economic downslide.

...which is a mighty big assumption. My observation is they are dead-set against education, but instead seek authoritve affirmation of their backward and bigoted views. In other words, Rush, et al, aren't intellectual leaders but rather con artists who tell their followers what they want to hear.
