Tactics of the American Right

I recently came across this quote from Nazi leader Hermann Goering, made during an interview at the Nuremberg Trials:

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.

Sound familiar? I guess we know where these guys got their playbook.

And of course, the politics of fear continues.
