The Right prides itself on its narrow-minded intolerance. They believe their ideas are not only better than anyone else's, but they go too far by distorting ideas that don't conform to the Right's rigid doctrinaire nostrums as socialism and totalitarianism. Many can't even bring themselves to accept that the President is one of their countrymen. The Right denigrates and demonizes the opposing party and its ideas in ways that stoke intolerance as a deliberate political strategy.
Intolerance is at the core of the Republican Party's "My way or the Highway" attitude. Intolerance is a mainstay of Right Wing Hate Talk Radio, which functions as radio arm of the Republican Party. Newly elected Florida Republican Alan West made the symbiotic relationship between Hate Talk Radio and Republican elected officials very clear one week ago on Fox News Sunday.
