It's also interesting that a divisive politics--the politics of fear--is considered as bad as a unifying politics--the politics of hope. The politics of pushing the political culture toward addressing infrastructure needs, improving education, ditto for healthcare, etc. is considered as harmful as talk of folk who don't agree with you as not patriots.

I wouldnt put Obama in the category but I certainly see some of the populist rhetoric of Edwards as divisive as the politics of fear or the much derided "welfare queens". The Republicans label those who dont support there foreign policy as unpatriotic, the Democrats label those who dont support their domestic policies as heartless or robber barons. Not much difference to me.
