(84,711 posts)Obama urged us to "stop the namecalling" in his inauguration speech and yet there is post after post here posting RW stuff for no reason than to whip up hatred to point the finger "over there." Why do it when Obama said not to...unless what you say...which was interesting insight. Considering that Obama won...why post crap from the RW when we already heard enough during the almost two year primary unless it's to distract Progressive Democrats from their own issues that we hope that our second term elected Democratic President, whom we voted for, will listen to?
Quote from you:
"And today was a biggie. So what can they do? Rally the troops. Make emotional bids for loyalty to Obama and to the Blue Team. There was also a thread today, out of the blue, to rally hatred for the Reds. It wasn't about any particular news item or recent event. It was simply a bid for the Two Minutes Hate. Because when a corporate-purchased/hijacked party must admit a betrayal of the people and the Constitution of the magnitude we saw today, it is imperative to the hijackers that our emotional loyalty to the Blue Team (and willingness to circle the wagons and defend *anything* it does) is fierce and reflexive and defensive enough to override our loyalty to the Constitution and the fundamental civil rights they are destroying before our eyes."
