Keith Olbermann interviews John Dean about his new book "Conservatives Without Conscience"
Dean discusses how conservatives are using "fear mongering" over terror to keep control of the government. Fearful people want an authoritarian government. So keep them afraid is a good Republican mantra. Keep the people afraid of liberals, afraid of gays, afraid of immigrants and they will blindly follow you anywhere. Dean actually dares to mention authoritarian governments in Germany and Italy in the 1930's. Dean claims studies show that 23% of the US population would walk off a bridge if an authoritarian figure so ordered them to do so.
