Crazy Fatigue

by digby

The other day I wrote about the power of the right’s relentless scandal mongering and how it causes the public to just want the victim to go away and make it stop. Tom Tomorrow observes the same thing — and gives it a name.

Here’s a good example of the frenzy:

Beck’s stated goal: Get administration officials fired, “take down this administration”

In recent days, Glenn Beck has said that something he is “working on” will “take the administration down” and that White House interim communications director Anita Dunn “will have to go away” after “what we show you tonight.” Beck and his fellow Fox News personalities have repeatedly called for Obama administration officials to be fired, asked people to dig up information on administration officials, and fearmongered about President Obama, his advisers, and his policies.

Now imagine if the Republicans had subpoena power.
