The Politics of Contempt/ It's not "hope and change."

Weekly Standard "Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress didn’t invent the politics of vilification, and they will not be the last to practice it. The president and his political allies, however, have refined the practice to an art form – they say they abhor vilification, yet consistently demonize when promoting their legislative aims."...."Building contempt among these core voters is one possible way to do that, but it’s a few degrees lower on the idealism meter than “hope and change.” "
