The tragic story of the attempted assassination of US Rep. Gabrielle Giffords would not have been possible without the tacit blessing of reactionary for-profit groups like those of Roger Ailes and his ilk. For the sad areas of our great country where these mongers of yellow journalism seemingly prevail, I am coining a new term:
Fox-ghanistan
The not necessarily geographical area described by this term sums up what happens when a large core group of "true believers" seems justified by what it perceives as a value system that allows for acts of radical political violence in its immediate proximity, in large part due to the predominant presence of reactionary views espoused for profit by arch-conservative groups bent on slavish obeisance to the dicta of vitriolic hate-speech.

Well of COURSE that district is going to vote for Sarah Palin - it's smack-dab in the middle of Fox-ghanistan.
