I don't totally agree with Dale about it. Not that it is non-partisan, it has an obvious partisan tilt but I don't see any demonization of Democrats in general.

I agree with his criticism of the "Theory of Human Orderliness". I even agree with his contention that we see it more from the left than the right. OTOH its not only Democrats who act that way, even on the issues he names, and some parts of the Republican party will sometimes act that way on other issues. He could have criticized "some opponents of the war", or specific people and their statements (like he did with Harold Dean), or said something like "some Democrats, and even some Republicans", but instead he used "Democrats" - and even "Defeatocrat Party". That is a slam, but "demonization" is probably a bit strong of term and I don't agree that such a slam is "utterly dishonorable".
