The Far Right's Response
Listen
"So let's punish Osama bin Laden for killing all of those innocent
Americans, but then let's go after the real criminals -- the traitors
in Washington -- who really are the ones responsible for the September
11 attack. And then let's send all of the Middle Easterners, including
those now controlling Hollywood and Madison Avenue and our television
networks and the rest of our news and entertainment media, back to the
Middle East for good." -- William Pierce, Head of the National Alliance
While the viewpoints being heard in the media may debate whether airstrikes
on Afghanistan is the best idea, there is another segment of the population
with a radically different view on the events of the past two months.
For some, the terrorism is a welcomed sign of the Apocalypse. For others,
it is another reason to hate the government. This hour, we examine how
the far right elements of America are interpreting recent events.
Guests:
Daniel Levitas, expert on rightwing hate groups and the author
of a forthcoming book about militia groups in the U.S.
Vicki Saporta, Executive Director of the National Abortion Federation
Plus WBUR's Jonathan Saltzman on the pacifist movement in the
U.S.
