That is the point of Victor Davis Hansen’s article today, which is linked elsewhere at Free Republic. Je is predicting an increase both in hateful, divisive rhetoric from the Left and in the can’t-we-all-get-along pleading from the Left and the media.
Somehow it reminds me of the wedding scene from The Godfather which was intercut with the murders of the opponents of the Corleone family by the family’s henchmen. But I digress.
I thought that Hussein would have gone back to Republican-bashing by now but I guess he is too happy with his recent poll numbers.
He’ll let his surrogates do his dirty work for him and they will be only too happy to cooperate.
I’d love to see what Steve Cohen’s campaign cash receipts for this week will look like. It’s very early but yell “Nazis” and “Goebbels” in connection with the GOP and rich lefties everywhere immediately reach for their checkbooks.
Good article by Hanson-—as always.
I especially liked his notion that the lefties sling mud at conservatives and Republicans because they know from experience that a certain amount of it will stick, i.e. the vicious attacks against Bush really did result in a public image for W that was somewhere between reality and the leftists’ hateful depictions of him.
And that helped grease the wheel for Obama.
