The way some people foam at the mouth over the "traitor" Bradley Manning reminds me quite a bit of how the government of Oceania brainwashed it's citizens to violently hate "traitors" such as Emmanuel Goldstein (assuming he was a real person, in the book of course) in Nineteen Eighty-Four.  Seriously...people act like he raped ten babies on national television, when all he did was release some documents.  It's hardly something that warrants such vitriol.

No, but the way some people switch between hating Peyton and Eli Manning as if they were Eurasia and Eastasia does.
