Reply #34: Seems to me the intolerant, gay-bashing, bullies are just better at

[Just Me]

hooking into the weakest elements of people (greed, anger, revenge, FEAR, etc.) and channeling it at (blaming) others.

The results of the radical right-wing influence over the last couple of decades are pretty obvious: a divided people, a more punitive society, a warring nation, tens of millions in poverty, huge debts, increased anti-Americanism, continued domestic and child abuse, a dying middle class, greatest prison population in the world,...and I could go on and on.

If anything, liberals and progressives should whack every right-wing mischaracterization and character assassination (for example "tax raising, second amendment destroying, homosexual supporting") and more accurately characterize the right-wing for the hate-filled and destructive attack machine that it is.
