It's pretty obvious this is a well orchestrated plan by Obama and his "handlers", and they think the American public is stupid enough not to see through it.
It is so blatant now, it's almost humorous, if it wasn't so serious!
Daily conference calls with the Liberal MSM
Shutting down dissenters
Official government documents targeting specific political/religious affiliations
Deceit
Deliberate Demonization of individuals (Rush, Veterans, etc)
etc...
Demonization is when a demagogue, or group of demagogues, paints their ideological enemies or scapegoats in terms intended to render them as irredeemably evil and fit only for destruction, which is usually presented as 'self-defense'. Possibly the best-known example of demonization in the 20th century was the Nazis' demonization of Jews, which played off of existing antisemitism for political gain and eventually led to the Holocaust.
Saul Alinsky's Thirteenth Rule: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."
He wasn't kidding. In his handbook for community organizers, Rules for Radicals, he made it clear that the way to succeed is to demonize your opponent. Pick someone your followers can focus their anger upon and attack him without mercy.
