Hatred of fellow citizens who own guns (nut jobs, humpers, etc), christians labeled as evil/haters/etc (and some sure are), smokers, people who drink big sodas or eat fast food, etc and so on.

Point here being is how a group is labeled and gone after because of what a few in that group do - all in an attempt to villify a group and make them more socially unacceptable (ie shaming people into changing who they are).

Our culture right now is one of fear of others - well, fear of other citizens. We are all potential terrorists right now - and both parties are implicated in that from the patriot act down to current NSA.

"See something, Say something" , arresting people for taking photos, bailing out the wealthy (hating on the poor), not even trying for single payer.

Point is here - Even on DU - we see that both parties are not doing what is in our best interest and are trying to pit us against each other and they always seem to favor the powerful and wealthy.
