Sarah’s Future Looks Bright

Public Eye Extra! July 6, 2009

Sarah Palin’s true blue supporters haven’t won a lot of attention in the post-mortem after she gave up the Alaska governorship – or as she put it, her “title.” But Sarah’s political career is no beauty pageant to the thousands who organize themselves through Team Sarah, the web community “dedicated to advancing the values that Sarah Palin represents in the political process.”

Toxic to Democracy
Conspiracy Theories, Demonization, & Scapegoating

What is the historical context of a conspiracy theorist who rejects the Holocaust’s existence? How do right-wing political pundits contribute to the recent rash of violence linked to White supremacist groups? Political Research Associates Senior Researcher Chip Berlet addresses these questions and more in his most recent work, Toxic to Democracy.

Toxic to Democracy sheds light on the tenacity of conspiracy theories in American politics and the corrosive use of demonizing language that scapegoats certain groups. With the nation at a crossroads—the election of a Black President reveals both progress and backlash—this report is indispensible to understanding how right-wing pundits and militants alike are making sense of our world.

Listen to Terry Gross of Fresh Air interview Chip about Toxic to Democracy.
