摘要

Surface appearances are as deceptive in politics as they are in most things. During the Eisenhower years, commentators were either disparaging or marveling at the great American consensus. Yet, beneath the seemingly contented and apathetic surface of the 1950s were deep strains of discontent among blacks, embittered youths, and threatened white Southerners. In the next decade, these rumblings would burst through the surface and shatter the illusion of unanimity. Now, unlike 50 years ago, the appearance is of division and disruption. Any observer of the current political dialogue has to shudder at its venomous quality. Bush hatred and Dean bashing―before he dropped out―have been central themes of the current presidential campaign; Ann Coulter's Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism and Al Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right have commanded lofty positions on best-seller lists; Sen. Ted Kennedy (D.-Mass.) charges Pres. George W. Bush with recklessly plotting the war in Iraq for the benefit of Halliburton and other rich Texas associates; former presidential hopeful Howard Dean considers Attorney General John Ashcroft the most dangerous threat to American civil liberties since Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R.-Wisc., 1947-57); and conservative radio talk show hosts spend endless hours bashing liberals as spineless, decadent, and lacking in patriotism.
