Politics, Anthropology and Psychology

ok, politics again.
well, politics and anthropology and psychology, sort of, again.
i've been watching some of the right-wing pundits in the states(and abroad)and i can only conclude that they have serious unresolved emotional issues that should be worked on in therapy with a caring and experienced counselor.
specifically i've been looking at the bizarre and irrational and unsubstantiated vitriol coming from the mouths and keyboards of christopher hitchens and anne coulter and sean hannity and bill o'reilly and their ilk.
they seem to fetishize this bizarre tribalistic culture of hate and animosity.
and what's odd is that they seem to hate the most when there's the least to hate.
it's such an odd combination of unresolved personal and emotional issues on their respective parts as combined with some very basic, textbook evolutionary psychology.
to hate, in public, without justification, is a pathology. no doubt about that(just reference the kkk and the fascists).
to indulge in overtly public diatribes that are blatantly inconsistent from any logical criteria is also indicative of deep and troubling pathologies.
again, no doubts about that.
i hope that the aforementioned right wing pundits do at some point work out their unresolved emotional problems in private, with a good and caring analyst.
in the meantime it worries me that their wounded, emotional screeds are actually running the risk of influencing public opinion and policy.
