Isolation leads the victim to feel that they cannot fight back and the intimidator almost always wins.

And this can work on many levels. Obviously on a large scale like this article mentions..... or just a conservative college kid who can't keep a Bush/Cheney 04 sign on his dormitory door because he's so outnumbered by slick Kedwards supporters! (This happened to my son yesterday)

To: ride the whirlwind

Exactly. It's happening on every level, from cultural to individual. And it's going to take strength and sticking together to fight it.

Does anybody think that the screaming raving lunatic show that O'Donnell put on against John O'Neill last night was anything but mass intimidation? He might not have succeeded in intimidating O'Neill, but how many conservatives and pro-military, anti-Kerry viewers could be intimidated by that, even unconsciously? Maybe more than we like to think. And O'Donnell will go totally scot-free from payback for that, because there's no one holding him accountable for it.
