A Blogosphere of Bigots
The proliferation of anti-immigrant and xenophobic groups like Pamela Geller's "Atlas Shrugs" has created a large network of hate websites, encouraging violence against foreigners (Muslims principally) and giving a forum to foreign xenophobes like Geert Wilders and neo-Nazi groups like the English Defense League. It turns out that the alleged Norwegian attacker, Anders Behring Breivik, was a regular contributor to "Atlas Shrugs" over several years. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which previously used to track the KKK, now has a full-time job tracking militia groups, "sovereigns," neo-Nazis, various "Aryan churches," the "Christian identity" movement, and a slew of groups that violently target blacks, gays, Muslims, abortion doctors, immigrants, "secularists" and others.
