Is there still hate in America?

Daily Kos: Morgan Freeman attack of racism on Tea Party does raise some skeletons: "Morgan Freeman was interviewed on the Piers Morgan TV Talk Show calling the Tea Party movement “a racist thing.” He added, “Their stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term. What underlines that? Screw the country. We're going to {do} whatever we can to get this black man outta here.” In the Huff Post he commented on how this group has illustrated there is still hate remaining in America."

Hate is something stirred up by those who have an interest in creating a certain environment. It capitalizes on the reactions we have to various events. Hate can be used to create a constituency for revenge. I believe it was a conscious stirring up of hate that created the context for the four major assassinations in the US during the 1960s. I believe the power behind hate has moved somewhat from organized crime to the edges of corporate and government institutions. I believe that the poster person for the mobilization of hate by wiser heads was J. Edgar Hoover. Several public figures in the GOP could qualify today.
