I've been astounded, recently, at how unashamed some bigots, with obvious positions, like this band, are being now. This is not just a voice in a vast crowd, or an anonymous comment on the internet; it's named bloggers (often ones well known enough to get interviewed on TV), or people who you'd think could lose their position, or hurt their institution if the NCAA decides sanctions are needed.

It really seems more than it was a few years ago. Is it just that it gets reported more, when it used to be deemed 'not news'? Or is it really happening more, in public - perhaps because the sustained birther crap has made them think they have 'respectable cover' to do it?
