I remember all too well, after 9/11, Jerry Falwell saying on The 700 Club

I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say: "You helped this happen."


and Pat Robertson replying, "I totally concur."

Here is Glenn Beck blaming Muslims because "no American citizen blows up random people; that’s a Middle Eastern scene, that’s not an American scene."
