fever swamp

Etymology
The original term sprang from the belief that the swamp itself caused illnesses such as malaria and cholera, before the role of disease vectors was understood. The political use of the term is generally attributed to the neoconservative journalist, as a metaphor for right-wing political extremists as breeding ground for crazy ideas.
