The hatred of liberals is almost matched by the hatred of Moslems. Anymore the vitriol against progressive or liberal ideas and individuals is just as bad and is escalating. And there seems to be no limit to how bad it might get.
Obama is attacked repeatedly 24/7 across the media spectrum as being a Moslem sympathizer and even a Marxist in some circles.
He is accused of being anti American. Hate radio is running white hot. Meanwhile the GOP candidates are given complete legitimacy.
It is now mainstream and ok to be openly and overt about being a bigot and hateful toward anything that is not true blue blood American. Liberals are now the godless heathens stopping Christians from forcing this country to be a theocracy and Christian nation run on biblical principles. And those same liberals are turning the country over to the terrorists and minorities.
Can the country survive the growing hysteria and hate. And what will the next election bring. It feels more like a civil war than a political campaign now

(10,602 posts)There are many memes around that liberals are destroying the country as well. The same undercurrent of hatred is being aimed at progressives, liberals, unions et al. Liberal support of LGBT, unions, & labor is being attacked as unAmerican. The fact that liberal refuse to ban Moslems is being used to label liberals as pro terrorist. There is crap rhetoric being foisted all over the place.
Hate radio has dominates the land. So many hateful things that were fringe are now mainstream because of GOP candidates freely using incendiary language.
The religious right is pushing hatred as well because "godless" liberals won't let them have their way. They demand that we be a religious society. And progressive and liberal opposition to their agenda is being targeted.
I was not making any comparison to Islam. All I am saying is that the RW movement has as much hatred toward liberals as they do Moslems.
They are attacking all across the political spectrum to splinter the nation and drive down voting.
