118. Has anyone noticed how much both Republicans and Christian evangelists use FEAR

Edited on Wed Nov-30-11 11:18 AM by MarkCharles

as a selling technique?

Republicans sell the fear of socialism, death panels, etc.

Christian evangelicals sell fear of homosexuals by equating them to child molesters, fear of atheists by equating them with Communists and Fascists and other demonic despots.

Anyone else picking up on the pattern here? Appealing to fear and ignorance over reason and fact?
