The Republicans’ campaign tactics this year can be summed up with one word: Hate. As a party, they launched attacks on African Americans, Latinos, College Students, Women, and Unions, and the GOP honestly believed that this strategy would put Mitt Romney in the White House. And the Tea Party has only pushed the Republicans further into the hateful, right wing fringe of politics that could easily destroy the party if they continue down this path. Mike Papantonio talks about the overwhelming amount of hatred that the right wing spewed during this campaign with Adele Stan, the Washington correspondent for Alternet.org.
