A lot of the basic problem in this country boils down to Right Wing Republican Pundits who do the Republican parties bidding for them (Rush, O'Reilly and etc). They are the ones who generate a lot of this hate. They are not obligated by any law to tell the truth to their listener. They aren't required to have any ethic's either. So most of them don't. Most of their rhetoric is designed to put the listener into a frenzy of hate (in some cases to incite violence). In most cases to hate liberals who have been demonized for years. To lead the country round by the nose to where there master's (Republican Party) have complete control over the media and the people who listen to it. Over the years they have done their job well. There are now millions of American's who listen to the hate generated rhetoric daily. And what's worse believe every last word of it. Because Rush told them it has to be the truth. It doesn't make any difference if there is no basis of truth to it. Most don't bother checking to see how truthful it is before they repeat it. Most people like this don't really want to hear the truth! When faced with the truth they shrug it off like so much water. Just Rush's version of the truth is all they are interested in. They are like drug addicts who can't do without their daily fix of hate generated rhetoric. It makes their world go round. Until these people (the pundit crowd) are put back to the fringes of society where they used to dwell before it became fashionable to be obnoxious and rude. The problem isn't going to cure itself. American's are going to have to take the matter into their own hands and learn to quit listening. The sad part about it it's destroying this country. It's dumbed the population that listens to it down to where most can no longer think for themselves. They have to consult Rush before they decide what their opinion is. And until the average American learns to tune these venomous people out! And people start seeing them for what they are...Republican operatives. There is going to be a serious problem in this country. I have no doubts the e-mails will be successful in seeing to it that Obama loses. These people did it in 2004 with the Swift Boaters. Because to many people listen to this nonsense and thrive on it. It's tragic we have become such a sick country.
