On the one hand, you have the more traditional conservatives like McCain, George Will, and David Brooks who are either stepping back from or denouncing the hate-filled white supremicist populism exuding from right-wing hate radio jocks like Limbaugh, Hannity, and Coulter.

On the other hand, you have the haters and dead-enders who spew hate and falsehoods. Some of those hotheads seem to be threatening armed insurrection. They are the lunatic fringe.

It is time for the traditional conservatives to repudiate the lunatic fringe. I think that the lunatic fringe has given up on the Republican Party and may be ready to create a White People's Party that would promote the rebirth of the Confederacy. The Republican Party would be healthier without those folks.
