Those figures include; Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy (CSP), Daniel Pipes of the Philadelphia-based Middle East Forum (MEF), Steven Emerson of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, David Yerushalmi of the Society of Americans for National Existence, and Robert Spencer of Stop Islamization of America (SIOA).
Moreover, other players included what the report calls an "Islamophobia echo chamber" consisting of leaders of the Christian Right, such as Franklin Graham and Pat Robertson, and some Republican politicians, such as presidential candidates Representative Michele Bachmann and former Speaker of the House of Representatives Newt Gingrich.
Prominent hosts on the Fox News Channel and columnists in the ‘Washington Times' the ‘National Review' and grassroots groups, such as ACT! For America, local "Tea Party" movements also helped to disseminate the hate message, the report says.
