This weekend, a dozen Republican presidential hopefuls showed up at the South Carolina Freedom Summit. They were there to court primary voters who will winnow the presidential field next February. Judging from the speeches, its going to be an ugly race. What the candidates are selling, and primary voters are buying, is vituperation against people who dont look, talk, or pray like the Republican base..............
[SNIP of stuff that sounds good to me - Santorum was on fire]
...............Mexicans, Muslims, gays, rats, roaches. Christian superiority, military contempt for the president, and gauntlets thrown down to queer-loving CEOs. Its going to be a long campaign. And its just getting started.

This author sounds like he's from another another world.
The British elections showed that people who think like this author are in the minority in the UK.
I think next year’s elections will show that her ilk are in the minority over here too.
The US middle class is suffering under Obamunism. If the Republicans go after the working class, which has seen its fortunes decline with the increase of immigration - both legal and illegal, the 2016 elections will be an even greater blowout than 1984.
Liberals find people who don’t agree with them incomprehensible.
It never occurs to them there are people in this country who just don’t accept their philosophy and values.
Of course, this debate is just getting underway.
Yeah. That's the cue for "Two Minutes Hate" on the Left.
All the South-bashing ties back to "the Finkelstein Box" and the 'Rat strategy of "breaking the Box" by scaring off Midwestern moderate-conservatives with scare-bear rhetoric about "strange fruit" in Southern trees, and hate-puppet rants against drooling, knuckledragging Southern Gomers.
As for low-down, Saletan would know. Slate retired the trophy for loathesome hate-journalism sometime after they got it away from Mother Jones.
Slate, I think, is a humbugged anagram of [ordure] + "hate", shortened by apocope.
But what do I know?
Yes, in a manner of speaking...
Slate is another piece of trash that makes the Onion look like NewsMax. The journalist, must be a trained money, pounding on a keyboard.
Not true, unfortunately. They already know what they think and they don't care a rat's ass what we think, so all that's left is the very delicate task of getting our weapons away from us. Unfortunately for them, that just isn't going to happen, not unless they turn our nation's nuclear arsenal loose on "red" (actually, non-Red) States and kill everyone who disagrees with them. Which could still happen.
Dead eyes and smug-looking prick.
Slate is obviously expert in how low one can go.
And the Republicans will do what about this situation?
Yeah. That's the cue for "Two Minutes Hate" on the Left.
Excellent description.
Pillow biter.
Hmmmmmm. He doesn't look like a blind man ...
(Which he must be, if he can't see that Republican field is much more diverse than the Democrat field.)
From the tone of the article, it seems Saletan thinks there’s something offensive being said by the Republicans. Can’t tell what it might be, though.
He looks like a character out of “Heavy Metal”
Expressing reverence or fear of God = “THEOCRACY!”
I believe that most Jews are brought up believing that the Nazis were Christians, and that the Third Reich is the kind of “theocracy” that Christians dream of establishing. When such people see the March for Life in Washington, they see Christians marching for “theocracy.”
The left has lied to Jews as well as to minorities -
the “white Christians” are out to get you.
If it wasn’t for folks from Down South this guy would have head his head cut off by Al Qaeda years ago.
He might be from another world because he sure is not familiar with earthlings. : )
