I don't know about all that.

Really what I see is any criticism against the government is instantly portrayed as bashing... or racism, or conspiracy talk, etc, etc. That way those who are still completely enamored by the POTUS can 'hate' those who are asking legit questions into his goals and actions. Divided people can never really affect the government machine.

It was the same under Bush, just replace 'racism' with 'Anti-American terror-sympathizer'. Same game, different names.
