Neo-nazis and the KKK. Alright, I guess I did know about them. But:

A) Don't they pretty much hate everybody?

B) Aren't their numbers/impact pretty small these days?

C) Are they really affected by a Mel Gibson movie?

And finally: Are there rational people that feel this way?

We studied them in some college classes a few semesters ago, but I'm hardly an expert.

My thoughts are that

A. Well, yes. But once the Jews and the Blacks are taken care of, then I'm sure they would turn their attention to other groups. Gays, maybe.

B. Their numbers are growing steadily. Having a black man elected to the office of President of the United States has become a point to rally around.

C. I'd bet they were more moved by Lethal Weapon than The Passion of the Christ

D. That's the problem with rational. I know many folks who would say your beliefs are irrational, even though you would strongly disagree. I wouldn't be spared the same treatment with my own beliefs. Rational is unfortunately rather relative to ones own personal experience.
