Their way of constantly trying to vilify people on grounds of their political beliefs makes me want to classify them as proto-fascist. It's fine to rant about Ted Kennedy, obsess about Hillary, or complain about the Washington Post, but on these stations I've noticed there is a real drumbeat about people who aren't public figures but simply have certain relatively pedestrian views. On the shows I've heard, you can also detect euphemisms "New Yorkers" or "anti-christian bigots" that have an anti-semitic (broadly speaking) undertone. Lately a lot of talk about the alleged special affinity of Islam for violence against non-believers. I mentioned that in the Kensington case, one of them announced a jewish family's address over the air. There's an underlying or overt incitement to social sanction, if not violence, against the bad people. To me that verges on fascism because it goes to extra-parliamentary violence that is motivated by some popular sectarian prejudice. -- mbs
