Here's a nice little screed from Shep Smith on Dumb Fux News about being outraged because Congress failed to get the votes to set up a special fund for addressing the healthcare issues of hundreds of first repsonders on and after 9/11.
He really gets into it, and he even gets Chris Wallace to go along with him (a bit), but notice that neither of them ever makes it plain that it's REPUBLICANS who are hanging it up. Both of these guys repeatedly say "they" or "politicians", but never "Republican". They know (because Frank Luntz has taught them so) that when they're talking about 'politicians doing bad things", the rubes are so well conditioned that they will always infer either "Democrat", or that the Dems are implicit in the evil deed, and so it's all the Dems' fault somehow anyway. No honor and no soul.
