Neo-Nazi organizations like Aryan Nations, Hammerskins, and their fellow travelers like Jim Gilchrist's Minutemen are easily agitated and cheered on by hate spewing shock jocks of radio.  Those organizations their delusional notions of white suppression constitute a clear and present danger in this election.

This first example was brought to my attention by Georgia10 writing at Dailykos.com:

So the Daily Kos blogging contingent was all set to stay at a certain hotel in Denver. At the last minute --literally, the night before many of us flew out to Denver--we got word that we would be switching hotels. It turned out to be a dump, so yeah, an upgrade was in order.

... Waking up to swat teams is a surefire clue that you're not staying at a five star hotel, that's for sure, and if there was ever a sign to change hotels, a meth bust outside your hotel door is sure to be it...

And today, we learn that the meth bust across the hall was just one part of a much larger and more disturbing story:

DENVER (CBS4) ―  CBS4 has now learned at least four people are under arrest in connection with a possible plot to kill Barack Obama at his Thursday night acceptance speech in Denver. All are being held on either drug or weapons charges. [...]

GregMitch, Dailykos.com, digs deeper and writes:

Following up an earlier TV report, NBC in Denver is now reporting, "Sources tell NBC the two men had tattoos and jewelry popular with white supremacists."  It also notes that an unidentified source tells NBC,  "There is no reason for someone [with a criminal record] to have rifles with scopes."

My Web research has found a home address for one of the men, Tharin Gartrell, in Lakewood, Co....

Rory O'Connor, Alternet.org, writes about the continuing efforts by the hate jocks of radio to foment violence this year: 

Rodriguez says she "would usually shrug this off as idiotic, but it has actually gained traction. This right-wing jerk, whose show is a constant stream of anti-immigrant, racist, and homophobic rhetoric, is leading the charge, even commenting the other day that we need 'bloodshed in the polling places.'

Dave Neiwert, Orcinus blog, has written an in depth investigation into eliminationist rhetoric:

This is the naked bigotry revealed by both Klein's and Borat's stunts, and it has a particular quality to it -- a theme running through it, as it were: eliminationism.

White frat boys who long to enslave blacks, Texas ranchers who think hunting and shooting a Jew sounds like fun, and radio audiences who want to tattoo Muslims and lock them up in concentration camps -- they all reflect the strands of the hard-wired right-wing desire to eliminate, by violent means if necessary, anyone deemed the Other, or the Enemy.

What does this mean except that there is homegrown violent organizations from the right have taken hold and have been vigorously supported by the so called shock jocks from the big boys like Micheal Savage to the pip squeaks like Arizona's "Jon Justice" which will lead to murder and assassination attempts against all who are their enemies.

We can counter but a major part is to remove their broadcast cheerleaders.  Those cheerleaders for hatred and eliminationist violence should be able to speak but only on their soapbox at a street corner.  The public airwaves should not be a cesspool that will cheerlead on people who are mentally unstable, paranoid, and delusional enough to carry out murder against ethnic and racial groups.
