When The Far Right Re-Groups ...

John Cole predicts:

We will be regaled with long tales of madrassas, Obama's first name will become Hussein, and everyone's pets will be running around frothing from all the dog whistles. Obama is getting a free ride at the moment because of the intense, nutty, and 15 year old hate for the Clagina (in all honesty, I was a hater up until a few years ago when I realized cold and calculating competence is better than willful dishonesty and feckless incompetence). But if and when the queen is vanquished, all that venom will need a target, and that target will be Obama.

But the smarter ones know it will not be easy to do this without being exposed in due course as a poisonous force in our culture and politics. Targeting a minority candidate in this sleazy way is not something a future majority party will want to do. But then they may simply get desperate.
