I blame new-left (SDS, etc.) rhetoric in the '60s and early '70s for the current popularity of the extreme right. The leftists' constant harping on the sins of liberals appears to have convinced many working class voters to jump out of the frying pan into the fire.

But ya gotta rememba how da Boss (Daley) talked.

What he really said was:

"....dey are heah to preserve dis order"

He meant his orderly control of the political machinery of Cook County

And what a fine job they did. Chicago proved they had a fine first response to preserve disorder.
