The new face of Euroskeptics and Europhobia
The threat against Europe is quite real and it is easily challenged. First of all, they are very much into inventing and cultivating demonizing and stigmatizing labels about their “Others.” The tactics of this ilk are to reinvent Cold War stereotypes and labels, including the attempt to liken the European Union to the “new Soviet Union” and Europeanists as “communists.” With regard to this ilk, they are strong into nationalism and patriotism – and have stirred up British nationalists and euroskeptics, and we can both hear this on American talk radio and read it from Sally McNamara’s Europhobic-alarmist reaction to the Lisbon Treaty.
