In reply to the discussion: A Raid on the Unspeakable [View all]Me.
(35,454 posts)And chilling. As I read I thought of an example you later referenced, the tea party. Those who were given permission to vent spleens full of hatred and venom. They are the legacy of Cheney and his neo-cons as well as Unspeakables like Bachmann, the Club for Growth and Mitt Romney. As to the last we saw quite clearly the boundaries he was willing to cross to ascend to the presidency. But hes not alone, the so called Masters Of The Universe are legion.
That said, I have hope. Many clear voices spoke out this week and people are listening, throwing back the garbage rhetoric into the faces of the people who spout it. There is also hope coming from another direction. As we know, especially from this last election, the GOP is diminishing, even their money doesnt seem capable of saving them. And the membership of the MRA is steadily declining.
