a snippet:
-snip-
I began to notice it when Newt Gingrich became a force — you can’t say he started it, but he certainly institutionalized it, with his unrelenting “Newtspeak” attacks on existing government programs, his vilification of anyone opposing him, his brazen moves to destabilize Wall Street, his cultivation of discord and fostering of anarchy, and his arrogant dismissal of public disagreement with comments that amounted to “I know what’s good for America.”

Mr. Gingrich referred, again and again, to “the angry electorate,” reminding me of the old truism that “the one who worries the loudest about a dire event is probably secretly working to make it happen.” With the cooperation of the print media and Sunday pundits, Newt Gingrich made his career out of anger, and the sustenance of public anger served to enhance the power he derived from it.
