Supposedly the shooter from today is a member of Mensa.
While lack of education (or friggin ability or desire to READ) makes the Faux/Limbaugh audience fertile ground to sew hatred with lies and fear mongering, there are plenty of well-educated people with a similar worldview.
Racism doesn't necessarily depend upon education. Indoctrination perhaps, not education.
I'm rather obsessed with the whole subject matter of these two worldviews we have in this country (and other nations probably suffer from the same).
There probably isn't one pat answer as to what creates a racist/bigot/homophobe. I wish there was a concrete common denominator.
