mounting deparation - mounting racism and rage
The following punditry was gathered by Media Matters
http://mediamatters.org/items/200810240017?f=h_top
They have links to source video and audio.

...
On Monday, Savage responded to Colin Powell's endorsement of Obama by insisting, "The only people who don't seem to vote based on race are whites of European origin." Later in the week, Savage said welfare recipients (read “Black Folks") shouldn't be allowed to vote. Fellow radio host Jim Quinn went a step further over the edge, declaring that there was "good reason" for allowing only landowners to vote.
...
A Washington Times columnist called Barack Obama a "Marxist" who believes that "murdering innocent babies ... is an inalienable right."

Syndicated columnist Thomas Sowell compared Obama to Hitler, Mao and Jim Jones. What's the similarity? Well, they all spoke inspiringly of "change."
...
Bill O'Reilly recently declared that Nancy Pelosi practices her speeches too much, noting that Hitler also practiced speeches before delivering them (O'Reilly claimed he wasn't comparing Pelosi to Hitler. Right.)
...
For radio host Bill Cunningham, comparing Obama to Hitler doesn't go far enough. He prefers to suggest that Obama is the antichrist.
...
KSFO radio host Lee Rodgers falsely claimed that Obama has admitted that he would "stand with the Muslims" against "the Western world" -- a twisted fantasy reminiscent of Savage's claim to "doubt" that Obama "would take our side" in the event of a terrorist attack.
