These campaigns are mean, divisive and unfair, but in the end they are -- in essence -- just words. Escalating them to a level of bellicosity is neither nessesary nor merited. >> How successful they have been is incredibly difficult to measure, but that doesn't mean it's not a problem. They are somewhat successful (not utterly of course), because there are wide fracture lines in the US society, that are not getting enough attention. If less people would feel disenfranchised and unrepresented -- left and right, native and immigrant, black and white -- These campaigns wouldn't be very effective.
