that we may be facing a truly major right-wing backlash?
This has had me concerned for some time, ever since I watched the Tea Party movement form in '09 shortly after Obama won his first term. They were one of the biggest catalysts for the horrendous amount of hatred that's been thrown towards our President over the past few years, along with Rushbo, Glenn Dreck, etc., and it's gotten worse every passing year.
I am truly concerned that we may end up having to deal with a nasty mix of '50s hysteria, the Klan attacks of the '60s, and all the worst of the militia and/or white nationalist actions of the '80s & '90s, combined, and then multiplied.
I know it may not happen, but we may need to prepare for the worst........
And for those of you who can make it to the voting lines; don't let anyone intimidate you. Let nothing stop you to put our President in office for a well-deserved second term.

(310 posts)They have been trying like hell to find something on "O", but they can't.
He's the smartest politician we've seen in the white house in my 60 years.
He will not give them anything, they will have to make it up, which they will not
be able to prosecute.
Clinton did give them the ammunition.

(3,798 posts)Due to the fact that RW hate radio and Fox have their followers believing that Romney is going to win in a 1964/1984 type landslide, they are in denial and its going to be ugly when reality sets in.

(13,590 posts)All the Dick Morris talks of a Rmoney sweep is a plan for them to say the election was stolen when, in fact, they were legitimately beaten. Goes double for those "internal polls" by Rmoney saying he will win swing states. The same thugs said in 1992 Clinton was not a legitimate President. Same thugs, same song. Be prepared for it.
