Your question is worse than than my first examples, but hardly new and in the same vein. I took columnist Leonard Pitts Junior to task a couple of days ago for
making the same link.

And small wonder, in recent years, the discussion on race has come to be dominated by loud, intolerant voices using the reach they are afforded by the Internet and the intellectual cover they are provided by conservative extremism to promulgate a neo-racism more raw than anything the mainstream has seen in years. Small wonder the Southern Poverty Law Center reports the number of hate groups in this country has risen over 40 percent since 2000.conservative extremism to promulgate a neo-racism more raw than anything the mainstream has seen in years.

I'm sorry but that's bullsh*t. I don't know one conservative "extremist," I've never met a Klansman, I can't think of a soul in my large conservative circle of friends that's racist and I don't recall any recent GOP efforts to "promulgate a neo-racism more raw than anything the mainstream has seen in years" - or ANY racism for that matter. The only racist talk I ever hear is from liberals.
