PLC, do you think that Venezuela became like that in a day? Like just one day, Chavez shows up and says go attack the media, and suddenly they are rioting in the streets?
Maybe a month? A year? Five years?
Did you know that in Germany, prior to the take over of the Nazi party, that German Jewish relations were so positive, that many Jews that went to Isreal to help establish Jewish colonies, returned to Germany? (this was before WWII) Did you know that Germany weddings often had kosher sections specifically for Jewish relatives?
How did they get from that, to being mass slaughtered? Did it happen in a day? Hitler stood up one day, and suddenly the entire public started attacking Jews? A month? A year?
What's my point? My point is that there is a progression. A slow demonizing of the opposition. Obama, and the left, have been progressively attacking all aspects of the other view point for ages, and it's getting worse. Just look at the number of threads on this forum about Fox News, and Limbaugh, and Coulter.
No, Obama hasn't openly supported violence like Chavez. But Chavez didn't either for years and years. But he was always moving toward this end. Obama is on the same path, but at a different spot.
