President Bush (who begins a 5-country tour of Latin America March 8) has been witnessing the advent of a new bloc of left-leaning and sometimes robustly anti-American leadership that has sprung up in countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador and Nicaragua, among others. At the same time, there are a number of recent developments throughout the region that Washington only now is beginning to correctly see as a menace to its own narrow definition of U.S. national interests. Bush will discover that the region will never be the same now that Washington's obsession with Iraq has freed up the region to go its own way on a number of global highways. Preceding by several weeks President Bush's upcoming visit to Latin America, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad stopped off in Caracas, Ma...
A man Milwaukee's police chief called "the very definition of a menace to society" faces a jury today, seven years after he first gained notoriety as one of the youngest defendants in the fatal mob beating of Charlie Young Jr. This time, prosecutors say Artieas Shanks, 20, took part in a vicious attack and robbery of a man walking on the city's east side in 2006, shortly after Shanks was released from his juvenile sentence in the Young case.
Throughout our history, the United States has endured periodic outbreaks of fear and hysteria -- from the Red Scare to the Yellow Peril. To that ignoble list we can now add the "Muslim Menace. Echoing "takeover" rhetoric from the past (communists in government, Asians in the workplace), demagogues and anti-Islam groups are using legitimate concerns about homegrown terrorism as an opportunity to stir fears of a stealth Muslim takeover of the United States.

Iran is also a "rogue state." True, that is essentially a subjective, U.S. definition, but, given U.S. primacy in nuclear diplomacy, it is inescapably relevant. Though never a very precise concept, a "rogue state" is likely to be an oppressive dictatorship, anti-American, religiously or nationalistically extreme, and to ally an aggressive nature with disproportionate military power that includes possession, actual or potential, of weapons of mass destruction. As a result, it poses an exceptional, continuous threat to any existing order. So, as America sees it, there could hardly be a greater menace to the Middle Eastern order than nuclear weapons in the hands of such "fanatical, irrational" rulers as President [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad], who constantly proclaims his detestation of Israel and...

This imperialist view of the world is understandably simplistic. Appreciating the depth and beauty of a potentially exploitable region can lead to costly hesitation, a loss that empires by definition in need of growth and expansion cannot afford. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the historic Israeli view of Palestinians, either the total denial of their existence altogether, or at best the recognition of a far more inferior breed of human, was more or less shaped around the same theme applied in a variety of global historic contexts: Native Americans as "uncivilized," Central American natives as "heathens," Australian Aboriginals as "wild dogs" and so forth. Perhaps Palestinians, Native Americans, Mayans and Aboriginals did not have a great deal in common, but their conquerors ce...

White conservatives reportedly coined the term Black-on-Black violence with the intent to demean and scandalize Blacks. (Black-on-Black violence is an onerous subset of America's history, a history rife with violence and greed.) Conservatives' construct of Black-on-Black violence was calculated to devalue Black life with proclamations such as: "Blacks are not trying hard enough to extricate themselves from destitute circumstances...Some escaped to suburbia; for those left behind, inner city life is expendable. Conservatives prognosticated that Blacks would die in record numbers and claimed that their "propensity" for violence was "a symptom with the potential for ravaging mainstream life." They also predicted Blacks would become the menace conservatives were telling the public to fear....

This essay uses primary source publications from Nazi Germany to explore how anti-Semitism developed and intensified into a genocidal logic. Understanding how this intensification could occur long before the networks of concentration camps or World War II arose could reveal how language paves a path to genocide. Using the concepts of telos and logology garnered from Kenneth Burke enables the rhetorical logic of anti-Semitism to unfold and become subject to disruption.
