Maddow Viewers Targeted by Hate Groups?

Rachel Maddow has warned fans of her MSNBC show that just because of watching her they might be targeted by hate groups.

"Watching this TV show ... should not be an act of bravery," she said. "The conservative movement is making sure that you know it is. You are on their list, and they are coming after you. If it feels cold all of a sudden, if that gives you a shiver, it is supposed to. That's how they roll."

Maddow was responding to an action by the Mackinac Center, a right-wing think tank in Michigan that recently filed Freedom of Information request to gain access to the e-mails of any labor professors at three public universities in Michigan who have used the word "Maddow" in an e-mail.
