Every time I see one of these posts, I'm reminded of Emma Goldman in the musical Assassins. She screams about the capitalists and the rich and keeps telling her share of the proletariat, "What do you do? What do you do?"
She didn't overtly tell Leon Czolgosz to hide a gun in his bandaged hand and kill President McKinley. But she helped support and promote the sense of futility and doom that convinced him to take such an action.
Spreading fear and paranoia was the hallmark of the Bush administration. What difference is it that this Daily Kos writer is using the same foul technique? Because he seems to be on "our" side?
