The Authoritarians

Glenn Greenwald recommended the new on-line book The Authoritarians by psychology professor Bob Altemeyer at the Univeristy of Manitoba. I've read the first few chapters (he's got six chapters up at his web site) and I heartily concur. The book is eminently readable and truly fascinating. You can find it here. If you want to know what motivates the wingnuts and where they got it, read the book.
