The astroturfers behind the angry wingers are now trying to intimidate the media at a similar project in Switzerland.
Meanwhile, Gene Lyons says the street-level wingers’ fear is real and insulting them won’t help.
He’s half right. Half the emotion is fear.
But, the other half is anger. Yes, Obama has misunderstood that anger, hugely, and has in some cases, arguably, exacerbated it. But, it doesn’t legitimize some of the actions based out of either emotion.
I understand the anger, and see some of it as not based on fear, but just anger. I wish Lyons had delved into that more.
