15. Google on the word: Eliminationism

Start with the Wikipedia article.

Definitely read Paul Krugman's 2011 NY Times article, posted after the Gabby Giffords shooting:

Of course, the likes of Mr. Beck and Mr. O’Reilly are responding to popular demand. Citizens of other democracies may marvel at the American psyche, at the way efforts by mildly liberal presidents to expand health coverage are met with cries of tyranny and talk of armed resistance. Still, that’s what happens whenever a Democrat occupies the White House, and there’s a market for anyone willing to stoke that anger.

But even if hate is what many want to hear, that doesn’t excuse those who pander to that desire. They should be shunned by all decent people.

Unfortunately, that hasn’t been happening: the purveyors of hate have been treated with respect, even deference, by the G.O.P. establishment. As David Frum, the former Bush speechwriter, has put it, “Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us and now we’re discovering we work for Fox.”

Blogger and journalist David Niewert frequently posts articles on eliminationism on his Orcinus blog. He's also the author of: The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right
