"Hatred is a dangerous emotion to evoke on a large scale, and is hard to just 'turn off' with a shift in Republican strategy."

The hatred is already there, palpable, and turning many non-hysterical and largely unpolitical voters off big-time. It's not really getting fed by much besides easily debunkable propaganda though, and conservative ideas in the media and academia are only increasing (even if still not equal).

There's no way that the "all liberals are traitors" cry is going to sweep more people to the Right than Ann Coulter's book already has. It's too generic and seems too broad a brush for most people. The tactic that will work has to be on an individual basis. Think of a Dem you know that is not utterly hopeless and tell -just that one person- what's going on. See if you can bring them around.

I have a friend from my last job who is very very liberal, and who knows how I feel about communists (his favorite phrase - "Step back, Cold Warrior!") He's a nice guy, but not very bright, and has swallowed the liberal propaganda wholesale.

You don't beat them over the head with it. You let them laugh at you. Then you walk away. Then something happens like the rally last weekend. They think of you. They think of what you said. They laugh again. Then it comes out on the news that the rally was organized by the World Worker's Party. They write to you. And apologize. That happened to me today. Yay.
