All the recent hate and fear being spread by the tea party / republican party / Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh is nothing new but it is cause for concern. We are witnessing a perfect example of projection. This term is basically used to explain when someone has a problem with an issue and projects it upon others in order to appease the soul or to distract from their own issues. An example would be when George Bush and Carl Rove projected that John Kerry was a coward and did not deserve a purple heart. This was of course absurd and should have never been allowed to stand. Bush was a true coward and he surrounded himself with chicken hawks that used every trick and contact to avoid actual war service. The recent cries of socialism and communism and Hitler comparisons made by the above mentioned folks against the President is another huge example of projection. I know that the right wing of this country would be much more closely aligned with Hitler and the racism and hate that he preached and enacted. I recently visited a website for a German Metal Festival and the following is a direct quote from the site...."Racism will not be tolerated! Hereby we once again would like to state we are strictly against any form of right-wing philosophy or racism. We also count on your help: if you come across anything, please inform us immediately! Either approach security or, even better, go to the ticket counter. We will take immediate action against the people involved." So, I think we can deduct further that the next time you see a tea bagger with a racist slogan on his sign, you can rest assured that he is simply pointing out to the entire country exactly what he, the conservative talkers and the republican party are.
