22. Very nice. The xenophobia and racism they exhibit fall under the emotions of "fear" and "hate"
Their primary fear of course, being that Obama will act on the rage of every American of color and "even the score."

At the end of the day, Republicans are literally scarred sh*tless that this country will do to them what they and their ancestors have not hesitated to do to others.

This passage from the article you quoted rang particularly true to me and relevant to this OP:

"Using only undisputed facts, one could write volumes -- and many have -- destroying the self-evidently moronic claim that the media outlets owned by the nation's largest and most powerful corporations are tireless propagandists for a Leftist agenda. But those facts can never and will never penetrate because the two-pronged Right-wing dogma of objective superiority and unique victimhood is a matter of religious faith and deep personal need."

That is probably one of the best articles I've read on the bizarre phenomenon that is white, male, Christian, Republican oppression in America. :) Thanks for that.
