Poinsett and Ta-Har represent the lunatic fringe of the talk-show spectrum. But they are far from lonely voices. White supremacists, neo-Nazis and other extremists have found a comfortable, if not quite welcoming, home on cable's public-access channels. In 1991 the Anti-Defamation League counted 57 different "hate shows" across the country. The audience for these crudely produced and crudely reasoned programs is relatively tiny. But the virulence of their message has roused protests from New York City to Pocatello, Idaho, and launched a classic battle between community standards and First Amendment rights...

Entire sections of the former Communist Party Central Committee simply drifted into the President's administration, together with their archives, safes and even their telephones. Under the guise of working for a democratic President, they are simply restoring old party ways. They have no use for laws, the constitution or democracy...
