Yes, you could say I hate him. Because he promotes the fear and hatred of the others, because he made a mockery of the rule of law, because his policies are abominably clientelist (to the point where I think we have to call it corruption) and so on. Certainly not because I had anything against him ex ante.
Sometimes, hatred is the sensible reaction. Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi
This is a symptom of the mind-boggling polarisation of the political life in France.
If Sarkozy calmed things down on his side, the left remains in the same extremist stance. If you claim that someone won by saying "arabs will rape your daughter", this claim is so extremist that blocks all possible dialogue. This attitude can be seen all over the French Left today. Their whole problem is how to gather their forces to FIGHT SARKOZY and to FIGHT THE RIGHT. It's almost like a crusade.
What you don't realize is that people are getting fed up with constant "extremisation", they prefer politicians who deal with issues and speak about France, not about adversaries, not vilifying them. So I repeat: more lost elections are about to come, as long as you guys continue to see the world in Black (the others) and White (Us) and focus on Battles against the Demon. Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last! (Martin Luther King)
Speaking for more reason and against blind faith could actually appear a bit like trolling, I suppose. What can I say, then... sorry to bother you in your comfort zone, I guess. Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last! (Martin Luther King)
