Political Hate Cons and Grifters
Political Hate Crime?
The disgusting political trick of the McCain campaign worker in Pittsburgh who pretended to be assaulted by an Obama Maniac--is not a unique instance of this form of grift.
It's a form of short con. A confidence game to be played to woo people who are not strong supporters, or are fence sitters to come on over. It's designed also to motivate the true believers to try harder to win converts, using the talking points that the other side is full of thugs and maniacs who hate you because of your political views.
But it's just another confidence game from a party that rose to power using the long con to sting the entire American population.

I . . . who took the money?
Who took the money away?
I . . . it's always showtime
Here at the edge of the stage
I, i, i, wake up and wonder
What was the place, what was the name?
We wanna wait, but here we go again...--David Byrne
