Mr. King,
Actually, I agree that both parties use fear. That's because they both choose to be bereft of ideas lest they offend their corporate sponsors. The differences between the parties continue to narrow.

Mr. King,
A classless society. I just had a conversation with a few of my fellow unemployed blue collar workers at the country club. Most of us figure to be able to buy that house in the Hamptons with the stock options we get.

A quote from John Lennon's "Workingclass Hero": "They keep you doped on religion and sex and tv, and you think you're so clever and classless and free, but you're still f**king peasants as far as I can see"

Believe the narrative that you want to believe.

Like the Democrats aren't trying to scare people. Global warming, the alleged "economic catastrophe" if the stimulus package didn't pass, saying how GOP policies increase the terrorist threat….

Not to mention that the Dems number one play in their playbook is to divide people along lines of race and class (in a classless society) to foment political warfare. That is ALL about fear. The Dems have master's degrees in in victimology.

Well, I really think the Republicans are trying to scare people. Most likely to raise money by concocting a phoney narrative controversy over virtually anything. This particular time it's….fear. It's one of the regular phoney fund-raising scaremongering tactics of the GOP.

Then the Democrats raise money by pointing to the crazy, phoney Republican narrative and saying how bizarre the GOP has become.

Juveniles.

Well, make up your mind. There's either danger or there isn't.

Thanks for your concern, but I'm fine. Only a ninny in government wouldn't worry (fear) about all the crazies and problems in this world.

This entire idea of casting the GOP as "the politics of fear" is nothing but a Democratic tactic to demonize the opposition. Every e-mail I get from Obama calls his opponents "fearmongerers," whether the issue is health care, the stimulus package, the monster federal spending increases, whatever…..it's an insult to my intelligence, and it pisses me off that he gets away with equating opposition with fear. It's utterly dishonest and entirely political.

My, my.

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Of course, that was a Democrat, so it can't have any meaning.

You're at a low point King. When you defend the indefensible, discredited opportunist and overall nutcase, Newt…..when he seeks to scare Americans for no good reason…..yep, that's a new low.

Well, if there is something to worry about, if the jihadist are dangerous, then there IS something to fear, and Gingrich is 100% correct, which makes you the assh*le, not him.

What's tortured here is your logic.

I made no mention of worry. I made no mention of dismantling our entire security apparatus. I never once said that Islamic extremists were not dangerous.

The post is about fear….and being told to be afraid….and further having it suggested to you that fear is the appropriate response to just about every international and national event. What a bunch of whining babies. Scared bunnies trying to make others scared too.

Gingrich doesn't care about any of it. He's using fear to attack Obama. Gingrich is an assh*le. It's just so hypocritical when neither he, nor his buddies were the least bit worried about telling us to be scared, you know, when it counted. And a lot of the fear hoo-hah is about muddying the waters and taking the focus off of the torture crime syndicate that worked out of the White House for, at least, 6 years. Can't dare prosecute.
