Volokh's MarkField Shows How To Begin A Pogrom

This is how pogroms begin. This is how revolutions are conducted. This is how Fascists and Communists operate.

How do you start a hate movement? It’s easy and a poster called MarkField at the Volokh Conspiracy Summarizes it in a few words. You gin up a trial:

…begin slowly with the least sympathetic defendants and develop the evidence in some detail. As public disgust builds, so will the desire to see punishment inflicted.

It’s not a new strategy. Unsavory characters throughout human history have used this strategy. The French Revolution was a useful example as was the trial following the Reichstag fire. The racial history in the United States if filled with examples that rankle to this day.

And the fact is that it works. The demonization of George Bush is proof that it works. If there is not some kind of backlash against this kind of thing, the MarkFields of this world will have their day and there will not be much difference between banana republics and the United States except size.

The whole quote regarding bringing George Bush and his entire administration to a Nuremberg style trial for war crimes:

For that reason, I think it's important to begin slowly with the least sympathetic defendants and develop the evidence in some detail. As public disgust builds, so will the desire to see punishment inflicted.
