A brief excerpt from Friday morning’s lengthy Morning Jolt:

We haven’t heard Democrats and their affiliated talking heads making a concerted effort to paint all of those who disagree as backwater white supremacist biker gangs in, what, six months? I’m tempted to think this will be about as successful as their summer 2009 effort to insist that hordes of angry senior citizens with fanny packs and Gadsden flags showing up at town hall meetings represented a menace on par with Hezbollah. But who knows? I think one factor playing in Obama’s favor with the health care bill’s passage is that the apolitical types think the noisy debate will go away.
But I suspect the same “just go away, you bore me” instinct of our nation’s apolitical Muggles works against the liberals in these circumstances. While being called a violent racist mob is adding insult to expensive and over-regulated government-controlled treatment of injuries, the impact of accusations of racism and hatemongering has to constitute the most intensely declining currency since the Weimar Republic.
