The Movement Conservatives -- the hard-core people like Ed Meese, Roger Ailes, Grover Norquist, Newt Gingrich, Hindenburg, etc. -- have had a long-term strategy to de-legitimize Democrats as a governing party. You can see it in action every time FOX puts a "D" in front of the name of a Republican caught in a scandal, in the scaremongering about "ACORN voter fraud", and in the relentless attack-mode they shifted to against two sitting Democratic presidents.

A lot of people in Washington and other political circles managed to convince themselves that all the attacks on Bill Clinton were actually about Bill Clinton and his foibles, and not bullshit sprayed about just to associate him with a foul odor. Nope, they wrote it all off as "Bill Clinton was a polarizing figure" and weren't ready for it when the same bullshit started up again, this time with racism and xenophobia on top.

Yes, it's about Obama, but even more it is about what Obama and all Democrats represent in their hallucinating heads.
