Um nooooo. I'm not saying they don't have a right to vote. .

So, you're dismissing their fears as illegitimate? You're saying politicians should ignore the fears of those voters because their concerns have no merit?

But thanks for not dismissing that the Bush campaign does appeal to their fears, over actual policy plans

All campaigns on all sides in all elections since the invention of democracy appeal to the fears of voters.

The left AND the right sell fear and guilt. That's what they do. It's why attack ads work. The appeal to fears.

Ummm no again. You posted an incomplete version of Hitler's rise to power that left glaring holes about groups he's singled out to blame for their down turn in economical condition. I was correcting your err.

You would need a connection to 2000 to make it relevant. Again, where was the anti-Muslim campaign platform then? If I recall correctly, the Bush/Cheney ticket even - miraculously - pulled down a good chunk of the black vote. What are you saying? That they ran on an anti-Jewish platform in 2000?

I don't see someone on the USA campaign trail yelling from the rafters that Muslim-Americans need to be rounded up in the middle of the night and put in concentration camps in Nevada!!

I do see GW Bush on the campaign trail saying everything is hunky-dory with the economy and, as a bonus, he's taking the credit. The Democrats argue the opposite and say Bush should take the blame.

Yeah, that really compares with Hitler blaming Jews for the sorry state of the German economy.

Adolph Hitler? Nazi Germany? Holy crapola!! Disagree with the guy if you want but join the real world.
