The Ersatz Jingoism of the GOP 0
In it for the money.
Leonard Pitts, Jr. (emphasis added):
The sole surprise is that someone actually wrote it down as a PowerPoint presentation and was absent-minded enough to leave a hard copy in a hotel.
Here, then, is the smoking gun, concrete validation for those of us who contend that since Sept. 11, 2001, fear has been the GOP’s leading export, that under the aegis of George W. Bush’s political guru Karl Rove, the party’s message boiled down to a single command: Be very afraid.
And some of us have eagerly complied, fearing Muslim terrorists, Muslim Americans, Latino immigrants, gay people, black people, even salespeople if they say “Happy holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas.” Some of us see socialists around every street corner.
