After a quite brief lull in which it was apparent that NO ONE ON EARTH was receptive to the kind of Chicken Little b.s. that has been the stock in trade of the "Right" for so long, it seems apparent that fear mongering is back in a big way. I'd guess this is mainly due to the fact that there is no other issue the repubs feel comfortable pushing at this point. So I expect it'll be "All Gitmo, All the time" for the foreseeable future.
Foment hysteria within the "base" ranks of Limbaughians. See how many middle-of-the-roaders they can pick off and bring in to the fold. And mostly, most definitely, do whatever is possible to undermine Obama's credibility, his approval ratings, his attempts to effectively address issues and solve problems (like the economic morass, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, health care............). Keep the camera focussed on Islamic terrorists. That's got to be a winner for repubs, right?
Keep the debate about dirty brown people trying to bomb us and rape our teenage blonde virgins.
That's exactly what this is all about.
