"Obama is a radical communist and I think it is becoming clear. That is what I told people in Illinois and now everybody realizes it is coming true. He is going to destroy this country and we are either going to stop him or the United States of America is going to cease to exist," - Alan Keyes.

This is the rhetoric one has to be aware of: Limbaugh's "they must be stopped"; and here, with Keyes, "we are either going to stop him or the United States of America is going to cease to exist." Limbaugh prefaces his statement by saying within constitutional means, but Keyes is not so careful. If they are whipping up this kind of hatred now, after a month, and describing this as a question of "stopping" Obama or losing America, then the next few years of depression are going to be scary.
