McCain-Palin: Authoritarians

“The greatest threat to American democracy today arises from a militant authoritarianism that has become a cancer upon the nation.” So says psychology professor Robert Altemeyer, who provided Wateregate whistle-blower John Dean with forty years of study on the authoritarian personality type that roughly 28 percent of Americans proudly call their modus operandi.
