Thread Name: BS: Why do Americans hate one another so much?
Subject: RE: BS: Why do Americans hate one another so much?
First of all, "The Spitting Incident"...

No the video doesn't show the actual spit... It does show Congressman Cleaver recoiling from something and then wiping his face...

BTW, there are no known videos of the lynchings in the South either...

Secondly, both sides are out of control here...

Pure mythology!!! The right wants people to parrot this PR crap because then the moderates, most who are too bust making a living to pay alot of attention, won't punish the right for their bad behavior...

Lastly, hate....

Yeah, the right tried very hard to pin the "Hate Label" on the anti-Bush people... Pure mythology, Part B.... As many of us here said over and over: We don't/didn't hate Bush... Wh did hate his policies...

But again, this is more right wing PR... If it can get the hate label to stick to ptogressives then it fells all warm and fozzy about the level of hate they are exercising toward Obama and anyone who might be supportive of his policies...

Summation: Beware of right weing PR mythology... It is out there and it can be very subtle but mythology is just that: mythology...
