Ask Our Merchants of Hate
On this hallowed date, the 11th anniversary of the 11th of September, 2001, callers to C-Span raise the question, yet again, "Why Do "They" Hate "Us"?. As we reach the end of a 4-year campaign, richly merchandised on hatred of the sitting President, the question is relevant in a strange new way. We know the "hate" strategy began with his Inauguration and was last in evidence at the Repoob Convention and the "empty chair". Lately, Repoob strategists are "moderating" the message, substituting "understanding" for raw hatred .
Eleven years ago, "They" were clearly foreign, and of a foreign religion. Today, that sentiment has been transferred to the President who succeeded the Repoob administration that left us with so many events to regret. That transfer was instant, and un-relenting (rationale for the hatred was to be fashioned later). As we move forward, will this free-floating aura of hate, so valuable to the Repoobs as they pulled their shenanigans, continue to be used to paint political opponents?
Eleven years ago, "Us" were those people most likely to feel like they, personally, were the target of that event. Now, "Us" are those persons in the country who find anger useful, who feel their world has come to an end. For these people, "Us" includes home-grown malefactors such as Timothy McVeigh, those actors who brought us the Anthrax attacks, and the Abu Ghraib perpetrators. " They" are still felt to be both "foreign" actors and those U.S. citizens who look like them.
The morphing of sentiments to target new people and to pursue new political targets, brings us a new "terror" to contend with. The Repoobs fail to understand that the best way to eliminate terror is to stop manufacturing terrorists. To stop using hatred and religious beliefs as a political tool, would be a very useful step.
They should try to see ALL of our citizens, who want to live together in fairness and peace as "Us".
