I don't know that I'd characterize the administration's attitude as one of "hate" for the American people. It is more one of indifference. The socialists have an agenda to advance and historically, that agenda has been resisted by the inertia of the middle class, just as it is being resisted by the American middle class today. To overcome that inertia, the administration must simply overrule the prevailing bourgeois sentiment and advance their agenda without regard to public opinion.

The attitude doesn't rise to the level of hate; to hate someone, you have to at least respect their ability to thwart you. In Obama's case, the public is simply one more nuisance, a detour on his way to the Workers Paradise. His disdain is founded on disregard, not antipathy.

We're not important enough to hate.

But Glenn Beck is.

I disagree with that. They do hate us . . . alot. That’s why they react with childish namecalling and outlandish statements. They’re getting angrier and angrier. Just look at the faces (I know, it’s unbearable, but) of Olbie, Schultz, Oscar Mayer Weiner, Waters et al. They know we’re a threat and this is how they react to it. They’re “smilin faces” when no one objects but once their game is exposed, they lash out because the truth is killing them and they know it.

Call it what it is: contempt.
