Laura Ingraham hosted Mark Potok, Southern Poverty Law Center spokesman.
Potok said that the Joseph Stack who crashed into the IRS building clearly sounded mentally ill, but circled back to the government going way back. Ingraham noted he was also an ardent anti-capitalist and asked who the arbiter is on all these matters. Potok said the volume and scale of the protests today are greater and that cable shows and politicians are getting in on the action rather than fringe elements. He said all this speech is protected and that asking for civility isn't the same. Ingraham asked if Potok was calling for civility when liberals were railing against conservatives. He said rhetoric should stay in the realm of reality and Ingraham said this sounds like speech limits. Ingraham said the records from his group seem to target the right more often than the left when documenting hate group activities.
