This is a salient point, but not the way Mr. Cohen thinks. All the political leftist leaders of previous decades did not engender in their opponents the visceral hatred that occurs now. Conservatives disagreed with McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, (Bill) Clinton, Daschle, Graham, among others. The right may have thought of them as ill-advised, wrong, unintelligent, even stupid and/or silly, but the hatred, if any, was for their policies, not their persons.
The same cannot be said of the present quintumvirate of Hillary!, Kerry, Obama, Pelosi, and Reid. They combine their ill-advised policies with an arrogance and disdain that evokes the very hatred of them that Mr. Cohen thinks comes from the conservatives' inner desire to hate their opponents. The proof of this is in how they are received and treated abroad. Bibi happens to be perhaps the most obvious, but that is because he is on the receiving end of disdain as well.
The progressive thought process is irrelevant to reality. It is not based in reality. It has no relationship to reality. It is not worthy of any serious consideration. In fact, it cannot be serously considered because it is not serious.
Mr. Cohen’s take on the Bibi/Obama relationship is precisely to the point. He has warped reality into a ridiculous cartoon. Bibi has never belittled Obama, much as he has deserved it. He has, however, been insulted and treated with contmpt by Obama. It is long past time for the president and his sickinfants to start receiving what hey have been giving out. Karma aka God’s judgement will come down like thunder. Stand clear.
