Of course, it was President Obama who tried to make Americans "fearful and angry" by describing a parade of horribles that would ensue as the sequester hit. And perhaps Reich should be reminded that it was Democrats who consciously chose a strategy of fear in selling Obamacare to the public.
As key Chicago strategist Robert Creamer wrote in proposing the Democrats' future health care strategy--from federal prison--in 2006-7: "“To win we must not just generate understanding, but emotion--fear, revulsion, anger, disgust.”
As is nearly always the case, the left's accusations of conspiracy and sedition are a form of projection, accusing others of what they themselves are doing. Reich's blunt conspiratorial fantasy is a useful bookmark to remember the next time Jane Mayer or Chris Matthews targets Ted Cruz and the Tea Party in Alinskyite fashion.
