“Real” America

Atrios:

It’s long been somewhat frustrating that while we all know that liberals are supposed hate America, it’s actually Republicans who hate Americans. Lots of them. Anyone not of their tribe gets chucked out of the country.

Indeed. I’ve had it with politicians and pundits calling people, with whom they disagree, “anti-American.” Or talking about “pro-America” areas of the country. Or saying particular parts of states are not “real.”
It’s the tired rightist tactic of dividing the electorate and portraying people in the other camp as being inferior. I wish big media would call this crap out in a meaningful and devastating way.
