Pete and I were talking about the dynamic. She thinks this stuff is going on because the right had eight years of everything going their way and they have not gotten comfortable with getting trampled. I'd push it further to say that the right identifies themselves as the only American voice and considering every other opinion to be from the "other." All opinions to the left of extreme right must originate in old Europe. Obama being a black man just fits too nicely into this otherizing world view. I doubt that Panama John McCain would have been the subject of such nonsense...
