I think what frightens me about the most recent batch of extremists is how technology fuels their agendas.
With a couple clicks of a mouse one can find whatever ideology that fits their needs. And, the hype is instant.
I was morbidly intrigued with the extent this recent killer couple used social media and how they used it (according to a couple of articles I read).
Who will read their Facebook and be inspired to take their fight to the next level?
I hope it's not the teenager who lives next door.

It's said that people tend to believe what they see in print. Now with the advent of social media and blogs, way too easy to put extremist ideas in a print format.
And Whell, 38% die-hard liberals vs. 33% hard right conservatives is not a lot of difference;probably very near the polling error. Your point is very well taken.
