'Leftism generally is about hatred, and envy, masquerading as compassion...'

Well, yes, like I always say.

At Instapundit, "WHEN POLITICS SUBSTITUTES FOR RELIGION: Daniel Hannan: How the Left’s hatred devoured its own election campaign":

“The Left’s error was its usual one: to assume a moral superiority, to treat conservatism as a kind of mental disorder, to define the campaign as a test of voters’ ‘compassion’. As Ed Miliband kept putting it, ‘This election is about values’. Labour’s core vote lapped it up: plenty of Leftists define their ideology by whom they loathe. But others found it off-putting. In a column shortly before polling day, the actor Tom Conti explained why he had switched sides. ‘Labour, I realised, was built on hatred’.”
