Of course the root cause is the 'evil strain of Islam' in Europe(G. Beck).

At least there wasn't video of Beck at a chalkboard making idiotic connection between unconnected facts. Beck was too toxic for Fox, that says all that need be said about this hate-monger.

Breivik was a fan of another hate-monger in the US, Pam Geller, who has a website "Atlas Shrugs". Geller labels all Muslims as being terrorists. In the early hours after the massacre, Geller blamed the attacks on Muslims. After the dust settled, and it was clear that Breivik was the attacker, Geller wondered why people would think that she had anything in common with Breivik.

De moritibus nil nisi bonum

was one mark of  civilized behavior  two thousand years ago..In addition to Beck's sickening remark we've recently been reminded of  the  Murdoch media hacking into  the messages of a murdered 13 year old. Not exactly the same thing but close enough.

 IMO no accident, but stemming from a.characteristic of one strain of conservative  thought-the  so- called "tough mindedness" of people  so convinced of the rightness of their position that they feel entitled to ignore the ordinary social conventions.

Another example: Dinesh diSouza ridiculing blacks when he edited the Dartmouth newspaper. Just adolescent behavior? No. A reflection of an enduring  position which that particular adolescent had not yet learned to conceal.  

Karma is coming for Beck. I don't care when, I don't care how, and I don't need to see it happen. But I take comfort in being sure that it will.
