It appears that Frank Rich at the New York Times holds the political "Right" (typified by Rich as Fox News and all Conservatives) solely responsible for the "Obama Haters".
Frank Rich,NYT: "fearful of the fast-moving generational, cultural, and racial turnover Obama embodies," only grows angrier as the president's popularity rises. This rage is spilling over, and it's not just the TV and radio entertainers that are feeding this hysteria: The conservative establishment is dipping into fringe rhetoric.
.
Last Wednesday,Shepard Smith,expressed outrage over the Holocaust Museum shooting while notinng all the hate mail he was receiving from the Right. It appears that Rich took hold of that statement,and now holds Fox and all Obama criticisms by the Right as "flaming" the fire of Obama hatred with anti-Obama rhetoric.
Rich believes that as Obama rises in the popularity charts, so does the intensity of hatred among Conservatives which has and will lead to more violent acts from the fringe,and that Conservative comments by Fox News has 'dipped' to the level of fringe rhetoric. Rich goes on to mention other cases of hate acts and finishes his column by noting he has warned Fox about the power of their rhetoric.
Those who oppose Obama's policies have every right to voice their alarm over the direction they think Obama is taking this country. During the campaign, Americans in large number wanted reasonable answers about Obama's questionable associations,but did not have a media that would vet this presidential candidate.
The NYT's article fails to bring up the recent murder by a Jihadist convert who had a plan to continue killing after murdering a young soldier at the navy recruitment center in Little Rock. Where is the outrage from Rich? Was this murder inspired by Obama's apology speech in Cairo?
Any criticism of Obama brings accusations of racism. The Left-winged media refers to the "Right" as toxic. Paul Krugman carried the same sentiment in his opinion articles earlier in the week by ranting that Janet Napolitiano was accurate in her assessment of the "right-wing".
Not once does Rich or Krugman consider how this dire economy affects radical acts. It seems that the media,which reports from the palm of Obama's hand, would suppress free speech from those who oppose Obama's policies.
