Who's to blame for the tone of current political dialogue in the US?

Baby Boomers.

The vitriol in our political discourse is left-over sour grapes from the 1960s.

The Liberal Baby Boomers resent the fire-hoses, tear-gas and Police dogs.

The Conservative Baby Boomers resent Woodstock, Pot and Free Love.

Neither side can let bygones be bygones and its poisoning our politics.

Actually it began with Ted Turner and CNN. His vision of a socialist news agency that, "Put CNN's interest above journalism" Those are his words. He went on to say that he was well aware that the greatest threat to his plans was a direct competitor (which became FOX news) that would dispute what the Socialist agenda really was.

Progressing onward, with the rise of 1960's Socialists and Marxists, the Clinton's were able to forge a coalition of radicals who were successful in routing democrats from office and installing their own Saul Alinsky followers then after being thrown from office inserting them directly into the vairous news agencies as "reporters" and "anchors"

Beginning with the full out assault after Bush was elected the first time we have been engaged in a non stop Marxist push for control of this country.

Consider it a last ditch all out effort to install a Marxist government or once again go to sleep for another generation or two before trying again.

The people who want to change the Constitution and the basis America was built on are to blame. Those who want to take the pledge of allegiance out of schools where it's been repeated for decades.....those who rewrite history to demonize our founding fathers or to cover their previous failings.....those who give advantages to groups, at the exclusion of other groups creating resentment....all these things result in a reaction from the other side which wouldn't exist if not for the above.

In order of responsibility:

1. The media outlets. Brings higher ratings.

2. The administration. They play into the hands of the media instead of leading the country.

3. The people themselves. They buy into the stuff they hear without checking out the facts themselves. Most things told on the media are blown way out of purportion...both sides. The administration loves this although they say they hate it...why?.....because it takes the attention off of the things they DON'T want you to know.

Obama

The far left radicals got us all taking notice of the direction they would have this country go. So, I would have to say that it is the right has set the tone for truth and common sense to prevail.

I would be one of them to blame.

MR

It really started about 20 years ago. Both sides are guilty.

Also, 24x7 cable news + Internet / Blogs / etc...

And just seems to get worse...Clinton years, Bush years, and now Obama years.

Joe McCarthy?

Progressives

However we are all screwed if we let it continue to divide us.
