A Climate of Hate

In a fascinating and provocative entry in his AMERICAblog, "A judge's family is brutally murdered, and the religious right spews crap like this", John Aravosis says:

[…] That then got me wondering what else the religious right has publicly said about judges, and whether a climate of hate against judges is being created in America. Here's what I found doing just a cursory look.

He follows that with a dozen excerpts of visciously over-the-top statements made by familiar right-wing voices — familiar from their strident anti-gay rhetoric built from the same tiny phrasebook of hateful platitudes.
As John implies, it leaves one scratching one's head with a still deeper confusion over why they do it? It's so incomprehensible sometimes.
