How did we Americans get to be such hopeless cowards? I really don't understand it. Jon Stewart is right to say, "In our panic, we've lost sight of something very important." But how did we get to be so panicky, all the time?
Of course, the Republicans did - and continue to do - this same guilt-by-association, fear-mongering thing against Barack Obama. Well, fear-mongering has worked well for them for years, all through the Bush administration and even before that. OMG, we're all gonna die!!! Be afraid, be very afraid.
But how can this continue to work, year after year? How can Fox "News" base an entire business model around it? Are we Americans just especially gullible, or are we really this cowardly? What has happened to us?
As an aside, note the Saudi Arabian who owns 7% of News Corp. - the same News Corp. that just gave $1 million to the Republican Party. Nice, isn't it, that foreign interests can influence our political system like this? How is this even legal?
