Question Is Obama the New Nixon?

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.

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

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

Oh wait that's patriotism.
