Why do you hate America so much?
Remember how in 2001-02, the Bush Administration would say "Al-Qaeda," "9-11" and "Saddam Hussein" in rapid succession without ever explicitly associating them together? They just know that if they said them together often enough, ordinary Americans would make a connection? They would hear "Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda carried out 9/11." It worked.
In the past week, Democrats have managed to do the same thing with "health-care reform," "un-American," and "racist." Though they certainly are not trying to say it, they nevertheless have managed to construct a word association such that ordinary Americans hear, "If you oppose health-care reform, you are an un-American racist."
Apparently David Axelrod is the complete opposite of Karl Rove.
Why do you hate America so much?
which democrats?
...the Democrats aren't that smart..
I think you missed the point he was making.
Give it some thought.
I think you missed the point I was making.
I guess it was Beneath me. Explain please.
I was agreeing with him. Sheesh.
It looked like you were asking him why he hated America. Stout an I often disagree, but I would never place that on him.
Yeah, the hypocrisy on both sides is extremely amusing.
You're not very good at reading sarcasm online WC
It's like calling abominations like the Patriot Act, the Patriot Act.
Political brazenness breeds complaisance and jadedness. Desensitization is real.
Withdrawing in disgust is not the same thing as apathy.

Look closely at the most embarrassing details and amplify them
Repe ion is a form of change
Give way to your worst impulse

This.
They wouldn't have gone off on the protesters if they had been.
The aren't legitimate protesters, they are disruptors, trashers, dumb- rabble preventing civil discourse.
Meanwhile, Bill Frist goes back to his all white country club.

This is the guy who was just recently the majority leader of the GOP. Why bring this up? Becasue as much as ES wants to fight it, the truth is that there are lots of Frists in the GOP today and his belief system and stands ring true through the party.
No, not all Republicans are racist. No, opposing Obama's health care plans does not make you a racist. But there are quite a few people out there who are against this because they do not approve of Obama and for no other reason. ES knows this very well and he knows exactly the type of people who populate the GOPs ranks but this is the 2nd thread he's made where he's trying to righteously defend those very people.
I agree with you, ES, that part of this is Democratic message control and spin. I think its an rather obvious political move. So what?
PS - I missed your post on "Death Panels" comments ES. I'm sure its here somewhere in this vast thread of Message Control.
It's an old trick of words combining but always works, and it's very common in our daily talks as well. Once we mention the word "holy", which has no affiliate with vulgarity though, our minds always spontaneously lift up a coarse term.
