So ignorance does indeed have to do with it. Why did you just say ignorance has nothing to do with it?
I didn't. But ignorance of people can be manipulated to promote a position of the issue which in this case, "Bush and the American people are 'evil'".

The real issue which they are trying to promote is "the evilness of Bush and the American people." One of the means of promoting that issue is the manipulation of the people's ignorance.
