    The democrats have been very successful mobilizing their base, by creating class warefare and/or playing the race card, even when it is not appropriate in terms of reality. It appears that some in tea party has read the democratic playbook and are learning to use that template.

    The two favorite democratic template applications is rich versus poor and white versus black. The tea party candidate is just following the template pitting America verus Muslim. The democrats may be jealous they didn't come up with this new application first, or may feel this is there template and there may be copyright violations.

    Are you also a graduate of the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Stupid? The Republicans have been stealing from us to give tax breaks to the rich, that's a fact. If that isn't a form of class warfare, I don't know what is. The Tea Party has had racist elements from the beginning, that's also a fact, I could show you the signs. Don't pretend this is anything new, the Republicans have been using the "Southern Strategy" for decades.

    Well then, you should be able to give us some examples Democrats practicing "class warfare" instead of unfounded and unsupported pronouncments. So let's see those examples?
    This whole notion of "class warfare" is just a smoke screen used by the right (e.g. likes of limbaugh and company) to prevent a critical analysis of their agenda. It is political correctness taken to an extreme. When anyone uses this defense, one should ask what are they hiding? In the case of limbaugh and company - a lot!

    Indeed, the Republican platform has been one of open class warfare for a long time now. It was always the party of the rich, but it's been consistent, naked assaults on the middle class and poor for over 30 years running now.

    The only puzzling thing about the situation is that somehow GOP mouthpieces manage to get away with accusing others of class warfare, implying that they reject such, etc. This is accomplished through a collection of very carefully constructed rhetorical maneuvers, used consistently in place of reasoned, honest speech. For example, we can't address the budget deficit by taxing the rich, because the rich are "small businesses," and most job growth is created by "small businesses." Never mind that said job growth corresponds exactly to the subset of small businesses that grow out of that category, and that the overwhelming majority of small businesses provide for nothing more than the income of the owner.

    Note that his contention was that you'll find Democrats pushing class warfare where such is not appropriate. Except that in the face of long-standing, ongoing class warfare initiated and pursued relentlessly by the GOP, such is exactly appropriate almost everywhere.

    It's more than a smoke screen - it's outright projection. It's the bully who attacks a smaller kid and then, when caught, claims that "he started it."

    What they're banking on is a reflexive aversion to the label "class warfare" amongst Democrats. The hope being that Democrats will spend their time arguing that there's no class warfare going on - thereby absolving the Republicans of such, and undermining the requisite counter-warfare. But if you respond by saying "of course I'm waging class warfare - defensive warfare, in response to the class aggression you initiated!" it doesn't go so well for them. Sure, they can still blather on about "see, I told you those liberals are class warfare types!" but they'll still have to try to explain why their policies don't amount to class warfare. They don't get absolved, or even to distract from the issue.

    I see.

    So tell me wellwisher, what does a fine upstanding citizen such as yourself think of concentration camps for blacks and minorities so they can learn to be proper Americans? What do you think of "re-education centers" on closed military bases to teach "blacks" to be proper Americans? And then deport all Muslims? So what do you think of this? What is your opinion on this man's propositions?

    And yea... Post racial the US isn't. On the contrary, the racists are polluting the political debate all over the world. Europe is gradually turning nazi again. This time the "jews" are the moslems AND the jews.
