The wisdom of Yoda has never been truer

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. 

Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” -- Yoda  

This is what talk radio, Fox News, and some shows on MSNBC are all about: distorting the truth and sowing seeds of fear.  GOPers like Rove, Atwater, Nixon, and Mehlman are masters of divisive, negative messaging. This is not surprising given high relative receptiveness of conservative minds to messages of fear compared to those of progressives, as the latest brain research has demonstrated. But, to be fair, the Clintons know how to throw harsh and often distorted messages.   


BTW: I find it comforting that the "dividers" of society are rarely remembered by history as great men. Merely powerful ones.
