Kabuki Theater
That's what these Republican debates are, and that includes the crowd's "participation".

The right wing PTB's goal for the 2012 elections is not to win the Presidency.

It is to advance their goal of the destruction of our government.

They will use the 2012 campaign season to help pull the malleable electorate ever further to the right because this helps them achieve this goal.

Presenting the appearance of a further rightward shift in the electorate by the stylized reactions of the audience will eventually make that shift a fact.

1. There is (and always has been) a sizable population in this country that actually
believes all that shit. The KKK is essentially getting air time now.

2. I think it is actually more like early 20th century Grand Guignol
Theater. Theater of Horrors....
