Barnicle: Americans Are Being Fed the ‘Politics of Fear’; ‘Be Afraid of the Immigrant, the Gays’

EXCERPT:

BARNICLE: "What are they fed? Take a look and listen to our politics over the last three decades. It’s the politics of fear, not the politics of hope. You grow your candidacy on fear. Be afraid of the other, be afraid of the immigrants, the gays, the culture being stripped from you. It's politics of fear. 'Someone is always out there lurking to take something from you, defend yourself.'"
