GRITtv: "David Neiwert: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right" (video)

GRITtv, video (09:42):

Bill O’Reilly has said that far left zealots are exploiting the death of Dr. George Tiller by making a connection to right wing hate speech. Has right wing talk radio encouraged the kind of violence that reproductive health clinics and abortion providers have experienced over the years? And should they be held responsible? David Neiwert says there is a connection and in his new book, The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right, looks at the relationship between hate speech and acts of violence.

Howie P.S.: David Neiwert is a Seattle-based freelance journalist and blogger. Rachel Weiner is reporting "O'Reilly Suddenly Distancing Himself From Past Tiller Rhetoric," with video from Media Matters.
