I wasn't thinking of Limbaugh, Palin, et, al., but rather the mean-spirited, hateful, racist, self-righteous Facebook posts published by far-right wing organizations.

They come from Facebook pages such as Lady Patriots, Patriot Nation, Eagle Rising, Nation in Distress, American White History Month 2, Cold Dead Hands, Renew America, Lock N' Load with Lindsay, Breitbart - One Voice Silenced, Millions Awakened; America's Conservative Voice; Being a Conservative; The White Voice. I'm sure there are many more. Thanks for your insight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
