>>I think you are making too much of the unevenness of the examples and the tilt in the labels. It seems to me than more important is the acknowledgment that the phenomenon occurs on both sides. I disagree that it occurs across the spectrum, though. You get lunacy and hate only at the extremes. You get ignorance and stupidity, factors that he left out, across the spectrum.<<

That's a good point about ignorance and stupidity. I think that all too often, that which is more likely attributable to incompetence or an inability to apply critical logic is seen as evil.

I dislike the way some on the right say that liberals are hell bent on destroying America (for example), but I'm also not happy when I hear the words "fascist" and "nazi" being thrown around by some on the left.
