PURVEYORS OF HATE

Why don’t society and its media have the collective nerve to look at other “hate groups” in our community with the same harsh and critically analytical light used to inspect the groups dealt with in your article (“Marketing Hate,” by Sarah Henry, Dec. 12)? Such an analysis should include groups and their leadership with points of view that are opposite to those in the article, as well as some in the current music and entertainment media that seem so insulated. Why are some forms of hate so hypocritically and politically untouchable?
