The Right Wing Media Wants A Race Riot

2. Many Still Live In Another Decade...

Some in the 80s others in the 50s and even others in the 1850s. The wingnut view is of the "glory days" of Ozzie & Harriet where a women knew her place (barefoot and preggers and obedient) and minorities knew their place. It was the dream world where Raygun "won" the Cold War and cut taxes. All the ills of the world came from the "outsiders"...and President Obama symbolizes the ultimate outsider. Other than he "doesn't look" like "us" (translation: he's black), he doesn't have a name "like us" and surely is some evil Manchurian candidate planted by the socialists/islamistists/commies/tree huggers (pick your nemesis). The rushpublicans play on this "he isn't one of us" memes and we'll see more and more of it.

Earlier I heard a report that Millard's negatives are so high that the only way he stands a chance to win is to bring down President Obama's popularity. The best way is to bring up all those stereotypes and irrational fears that motivate the rushpublican base and hope that through shear noise and billions in Rove/Koch/SuperPac spending they can make people vote against their best interests.
