They hated FDR, too.

[smoogatz]

All the moneyed fascists and corporate Nazi sympathizers, the anti-Semites, the racists, the cowards, the simpering authority-lickers, the fundamentalist whackos and bigots of every stripe. They hated Roosevelt with a burning passion--they said vicious things about him and his wife in the press, they even schemed to overthrow him and appoint a dictator in his place. Right-wingers can't STAND it that their big ideas--outlawing abortion, eliminating taxes on the rich, eliminating gay rights, eliminating all corporate regulation, eternal war with anyone we don't like, installation of a rightwing dictatorship and suspension of civil rights--are, when expressed honestly, deeply unpopular. They can't STAND it that mainstream American opinion has (in their view) FAILED to embrace their twisted and idiotic agenda. They neither understand nor believe in the constitution or the bedrock concepts of Democracy. If they can't have their way, their first impulse is intimidation and violence. Same fucksticks, different century. We can't worry too much about them. They're morons, and mostly too lazy and stupid to do much real harm. It's the corporate/political neo-fascist oligarchs that are the real danger, and you won't be seeing them at any McPalin rallies, I'm pretty sure.
