I have seen the intensity of their reactions growing too. A recent article by Charles Krauthammer touches on the root of the growing rift in the liberal space time continuum; the inability to understand the utterly impossible concept that they are about to be beaten by a President they consider to be an obvious idiot and failure in every respect, again.

They can't comprehend people liking George Bush or voting for him; indeed to most liberals this is the biggest no-brainer in the history of the universe. At first they think it must be the "lies and smears" of the Swift Vets. No, it must be the "tax cuts for the wealthy". Panicking, they conclude that half of American voters must be babbling, incoherent idiots! Gahhhh!!!

The Swift Vets merely chummed the water, the writing is on the wall for the S.S. Kerry now, and the libs can read it. I would say that the next couple of months are going to be quite fun and the schadenfreude extremely satisfying, but a cornered, desperate liberal (or a few million) is a very dangerous thing as it ponders the oncoming certainty of its demise.

Viola!

And, therein lies the root of their "underestimation" of him.

They'll do it everytime.

It is premised on their arrogance on the one hand, and their disdain for average Americans. They will "underestimate" again...and to their doom. Too bad they can't see it coming, as Krauthammer suggests.

But wait. Maybe SOME OF THEM do see it coming; and hence the increasingly caustic outbursts and tantrums on TV, in public places, on the roads, anywhere they meet people who challenge their own narrow, fascist viewpoint.

Yeah, their half!

"Panicking, they conclude that half of American voters must be babbling, incoherent idiots! Gahhhh!!!"

And, of course, they are right.

Check out this post from over on you-know-where -

I had a horrible experience canvassing today. We went out canvassing Democrats today to ask them to support Kerry and our local candidates. We were in apartment complexes and lower middle class housing. The young Democrats living there told us they were voting for Bush! We even met a young marine who said he was just back from Iraq and supports the war, which is why he is voting for Bush. These people have nothing and they are the ones Bush is hurting the most, and yet they support him.And they are registered Dems and young. Why is this happening. I thought our base was solid. This is very frightening. We walked for five hours and only met two people who supported Kerry on our Democratic list! What does this mean?

Similar in intensity to the daily insanity Muslim radicals participate is'nt it?

Now they see how we felt during the clintoon years.
