The ReThugs started their scorched earth policy by laying the groundwork for political assassination. Remember Goldwater's stupid quote about defending liberty? While JFK was murdered prior to the utterance of this inanity, the thinking behind it had been around for years, thanks to the finally dead Buckley, here's a taste of what conservatism really is:
The sobering answer is Yes--the White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the advanced race.
That is from an editorial written in 1957. It gets worse than this, believe me. The right got a bit less physical in their constant attempts to destroy any forward thinking person, swiftboating John Kerry for one, but the effect was the same - silence any deviation from the from the fearful state of the rightwing worldview. We are a much poorer country because of it. My emphasis.
