You are right. The media and Hollywood and the rock "stars" and the Michael Moore bunch all spewed hatred and it caught like wildfire. I say it had to connect with people who already were predisposed to hatred...and that would be the left!
I always defended President Bush by saying "Just look at who his enemies are...that's good enough for me!" I knew he had to be doing something right!
This is not Canada against the US; It's right thinking people against the media, from both countries.....
