There is in fact a mob psychology among the media elite, and I believe it stems from the same source as most mob activity: fearful insularity - a sense of "sameness" and hatred of "the other". In other words, most media members know each other, live in the same places, went to the same schools, and share the same values. Some have quite literally never met a Republican, conservative, or evangelical Christian outside of their professional lives.

In this way, people who fancy themselves "citizens of the world" in reality become narrow, parochial and bigoted.

[Louis Foxwell]

The corruption of liberal insularity goes far beyond mere bigotry. It is the cauldron in which nearly every instance of brutality and racial apartheid has occured.
Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and others each came out of self proclaimed liberal enlightenment. It is just because liberalism prides itself on its high moral ambition that it falls prey to the most vile evils imaginable.
Precisely because of the primacy of political liberalism there is no doubt whatever but that Obama will develop justifications for profoundly inhumane tyranny against the citizens he proposes to rule.
