Wonderful front page article on CNN. I never really thought of the terror issue it in this context. Mr. Andelman crafts a masterful narrative here that completely flips the script on the right-wing nutters.
The "ultimate danger of terror attacks", is not the attacks themselves... rather, the true danger is the backlash of the far-right as they use these attacks as scapegoats for their bigotry, hatred, and the advancement of their backward political policies.
Hopefully this narrative is picked up by the rest of the Real Media. We now have a real chance of using these attacks against the right. This election proved that we cannot give them a fucking inch on any issue. There is a pro-left narrative to be gained from every crisis if we dig deep enough. It's just a matter of skillfully crafting that narrative and then swaying public opinion through the voices of the Real Media, celebrities, athletes, and our politicians.
