60 Minutes video: The Murder of an American Nazi

http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7382310n&tag=contentBody;storyMediaBox

Guns, white supremacy, violence, Nazi worship, abuse -- see what this added up to in a California family whose politics proudly remain conservative Republican today.  This story was aired on 60 Minutes last night.  It's the story of what fear and hatred can lead to, in an individual, a family, or a country.  Most Tea Party supporters do not see themselves as filled with hate and fired up by fear -- but those with eyes to see can observe very clearly where their kind of belief system leads.  They may call themselves Christians, but their actions belie their claims.  No doubt the father in this sad story thought of himself as a good Christian, even as his beliefs drifted steadily rightwards, straight into Nazi-ism.  View the video and come to your own conclusions.
