Reply #24: Fear. They are ruled by fear.

[CrispyQ]

Fear of change, fear of those who are different than they are, fear that they will not get everything they think they deserve or that someone else may get something they don't deserve. Fear, fear, fear. No wonder they are so mean & hateful. I would be too, if I had that much fear in my life.

I agree, it's not going to go away. If Obama gets elected, it will get worse. There has been concern expressed over what will happen if they steal this election - that we will take to the streets. If we do take to the streets, I don't worry about us. I worry more about what will happen if we win. People fueled by fear & hate are dangerous & they will lash out with violence.

I hope Obama is prepared, because what they tried to do to Clinton is child's play compared to what they will try to do to him. Did you ever see "The Hunting of a President"? It was a great documentary about how the repubs tried to take Clinton down. It was a witch hunt, pure & simple. I think Obama is a better man than Clinton in many regards, but these people will try. They will put all their energy & their hate & their divisiveness into it.

You should consider making your post it's own thread.
