Both presidents were vilified by those out of power, fueling the rise of manic countercultures.
Lee Siegel on what Glenn Beck’s angry army has in common with hippies.

I love the two following lines, "And while the new counterculture’s racist images of Obama are sickening," and "the new counterculture will only become more hysterical as its numbers dwindle to a few talking heads and “maverick” politicians." So basically, if you speak out against the president's policies you are a racist and part of a dying movement. That's funny because I thought I just hated socialism and abuses of the Constitution. I also thought that Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck have both seen their ratings increase. Guess I was wrong on both points. :rolleyes:

"...patriotism, religion, and morality—is the new counterculture."

Really? I thought that was Red, White and Blue....

Oh wait that's patriotism.
