They didn't come up with the idea for either of those items.

Both are conservative promoted items. And to question them means people were called traitors, terrorists sympathizers, and hate America firsters.

Which was an effective conservative fascist campaign.

I have to agree here... the dynamics of the situation and the climate of fear and politics of that moment in time seem to have been totally forgotten. Remember 'freedom fries' and the free and careless use of the word traitor, the approximately 72% approval rating of the thief in charge, the car magnets, the commentators, the 'so-called' liberal press, etc...

Of course, the party that promoted and encouraged the tactic will not want anyone to remember that, it's far more effective to dismiss all of it and lay the blame solely on the 'other' party...

Where I fully do hold the dems accountable is since they became the majority... as they have done nothing that the american people really wanted and if they tried, they didn't get the full support of the party...
