Bitterness and the SCLM

Robert Reich right on repukes and their MSM enablers:

"The average man in his 30s is earning less than his father did thirty years ago. Yet America is far richer. Where did the money go? To the top.

And their frustrations, their anger and, yes, sometimes their bitterness, have been used since then -- by demagogues, by nationalists and xenophobes, by radical conservatives, by political nuts and fanatical fruitcakes – to blame immigrants and foreign traders, to blame blacks and the poor, to blame 'liberal elites,' to blame anyone and anything.

"Rather than counter all this, the American media have wallowed in it. Some, like Fox News and talk radio, have given the haters and blamers their very own megaphones."
