The title is a reference to a Native American parable — the story exists in various forms. It’s a story that has found significant resonance, particularly lately.

“The Wolf You Feed”

…the article is one I recently posted over on ePluribus Media and DailyKos — it goes on to mention a couple of pieces that comment on the right-wing rhetoric and domestic terrorism that has been constantly egged on by the conservative media and punditry.

I know several folks here are familiar with the parable, and since it was on my mind, I thought it made a good lead-in to the piece. Please check it out and tell me what you think.

But here is the larger more important question? Is there enough evidence to investigate and place this under public scrutiny?

We believe there is.
