It must be terrible to be so xenophobic that you spend your life barricading yourself against one perceived threat or another.

Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes is big on security. And as he sees it, according a report in Rolling Stone, the two biggest threats to his personal well-being are al-Qaeda terrorists and "those gays."

Tim Dickinson reports for Rolling Stone:Murdoch installed ailes in the corner office on Fox's second floor at 1211 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan. The location made Ailes queasy: It was close to the street, and he lived in fear that gay activists would try to attack him in retaliation over his hostility to gay rights. (In 1989, Ailes had broken up a protest of a Rudy Giuliani speech by gay activists, grabbing demonstrator by the throat and shoving him out the door.) Barricading himself behind a massive mahogany desk, Ailes insisted on having "bombproof glass" installed in the windows - even going so far as to personally inspect samples of high-tech plexiglass, as though he were picking out new carpet. Looking down on the street below, he expressed his fears to Cooper, the editor he had tasked with up-armoring his office. "They'll be down there protesting," Ailes said. "Those gays."The magazine's massive story on Ailes in their June 9 issue also includes this tidbit about the time Ailes reportedly thought a dark-skinned janitor might be a terrorist:Inside his blast-resistant office at Fox News headquarters, Ailes keeps a monitor on his desk that allows him to view any activity outside his closed door. Once, after observing a dark-skinned man in what Ailes perceived to be Muslim garb, he put Fox News on lockdown. "What the hell!" Ailes shouted. "This guy could be bombing me!" The suspected terrorist turned out to be a janitor. "Roger tore up the whole floor," recalls a source close to Ailes. "He has a personal paranoia about people who are Muslim - which is consistent with the ideology of his network."Read the Rolling Stone piece here.

That's a hell of a story. I wonder how long it will take the Fox folks to foam at the mouth.

Limbaugh and probably Brietbart and the rest of the "me, too" blogs spent a lot of time last week attacking it and the publication.
