    Probably because they care so much about the common man.

    I don't know. I'm sure there are elements of racism throughout. I tend to agree more with Red's line of thinking. Anyway, the article isn't helpful in any way.

    Bill Clinton -"We only have one remaining bigotry. We don't want to be around anybody who disagrees with us.* And if you look, actually residential patterns in America are changing. I mean, not just by congressional districts. I mean fixed-line borders, like counties, the internal, social and political complexion of them are changing, and we also are siloing our information sources."
     
    But it really is on both sides. I mean the right's response to Obama is easy to point out but we'd be so better off if that was the only example. Safe zones in universities which are by definition a population of people who are openly acknowledging their inability to hear opinions that differ than their own. Every political issue seems to be racing towards its own perverse form of ideological purity. Women being called out because their feminism doesn't align with another person's interpretation.  The tea party well...yeah. The "tumblr" culture that tries to constrain liberalism into a black and white universe more befitting the Salem witch trials.  We live in a world that is indeed changing. Instead of differing groups, whites vs blacks or left vs right, we live in a world where everyone is becoming their own island of opinion and revels in their new found isolation.

    You can't deny that the vitrial aimed at this president is significantly greater than in the past. This idea that Obama is unamerican, unpatriotic, etc. Personally, I think it's more politics than race, but that doesn't mean I don't think race has contributed some to it. When you have a white southern congressman shouting "you lie" at a black president in the state of the union...hard not to get that impression. Think back to the 2012 Republican convention where an old white man was yelling at an empty chair...fantasizing that he was verbally beating down the president...and the gathered crowd ate it up. Those are harsh visuals.
     
    But I think it has more to do with there is no longer a conservative movement. The Republican party and conservative movement has morphed in to the Anti-Democrat/Liberal party. There are no real ideas being submitted anymore, it really has become whatever Obama or the Democrats want, we hate. When Clinton was in office, there was the same line being pushed...he was unpresidential, there was a scandal behind every door. Hell, they made the decision to impeach Clinton because they had the numbers and then waited for an excuse.
     
    Bob Barr wrote a book that argued for the impeachment of President Bill Clinton before anyone ever had heard of Monica Lewinsky. In fact, in 1994, when Newt Gingrich led the Republicans to their first majority in the House of Representatives since 1946, it became an article of faith among the Republican leaders in the House that they would impeach Clinton over something—over Whitewater, or Travelgate, or Filegate, or the Rose Law Firm Billing records—simply because they had the votes to do it.

    There are no longer policy agreements...but rather the idea that the other side is illegitimate. Anything they do you don't like is unconstitutional. That your opponents hate America, and the American way of life. And seriously, don't give them this Both Sides Do it Crap...because yes, you can find examples of people on the left doing the same thing...but for the most part those people aren't candidates for president...elected to congress...in positions of power.
