N2  - This essay provides a rhetorical and narrative analysis of the hate narrative directed at public employees, educators, and unions by right wing Republican leaders and spokespersons. It locates specific political issues within a broader framework that depicts those of us on the left who are gainfully employed in professions, careers, and jobs that are in the public interest as enemies of capitalism, liberty, and freedom. The success of this right wing narrative cannot be denied but it may be resisted if those of us who are negatively affected by it get behind a core message that emphasizes the democratic ideal of the public good.<p />
