But I guess if you want to say that isn't a "driving" force so be it.

These people know exactly what is happening here:<br /><br />I have witnessed in Germany in 1992/93 how a racist "mass rage" can spin out of control.<br /><br />This kind of mass rage can easily happen again in other places as well. All you need is an incident, a reason to ignite the flame. There seems to be already a broad base of people in the USA who are heavily prejudiced against Muslims, and we have seen the first "incidents" against Muslims. What would for example happen if a Muslim "hits back" and hurts a "white person?" Wouldn't that give people a reason to "strike" against the Muslims?<br /><br />That's why Glenn Beck's and Sarah Palin's game is so dangerous: If you whip up the masses, you might as well see some (unwanted?) results.<br /><br />http://palingates.blogspot.com/2010/08/exclusive-pictures-and-report-from.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-73242995668854493032010-08-31T10:53:13.897-05:002010-08-31T10:53:13.897-05:00It's not that Palin's endorsement is what ...It's not that Palin's endorsement is what caused people to vote for Miller, it's that her endorsement put him on the map and brought him the money and airtime he needed to win.
