Unless your calling for a real civil war or a terrorist campaign you can't get much worse than some of what's been done. newsisyphus.blogspot.com "During the Presidential campaign of last year first Howard Dean and then John Kerry let is slip on more than one occasion that the first thing they would do as President of the United States would be to “investigate” Fox News, Rupert Murdoch and other elements of conservative media. What, exactly, they would be investigated for was never made quite clear, though the suggestion was enough to whip their minions (Memo to Chairman of Washington State Democratic Party: not a type of steak ) into a self-righteous frenzy. Since our time at the University of California we’ve noticed a constant among liberals everywhere: they simply cannot stand free speech unless they’re the only ones who get to speak. The rise of Fox News, conservative talk radio and the Blogosphere assaults the modern liberal’s sensibilities on so many levels, we are actually starting to believe it is literally driving them crazy... ...From campus speech codes, to stacked Sunday morning “news” shows to the smothering social pressure created by liberal racial politics and political correctness, liberals have shown that they cannot handle the free marketplace of ideas. Instead of dusting themselves off and throwing themselves back into the argument, they grasp for ways of declaring those they disagree with illegal... ...We take comfort in knowing that liberals lack both the means and the ability to effect their desires, given their current electoral position and the slight problem of the Constitution of the United States. Further, as we have remarked before, conservatives continue to win the arguments of the day because, as a system of ideas, conservatism continues to explain the reality around us and cause and effect much, much more effectively than modern liberalism. But that comfort is hindered by the knowledge that the old problem continues: conservatives merely think that liberals are wrong, while liberals think—really, actually think—that conservatives are evil. And, hey, you’d do anything you could to stop evil, right ? Even if it means threatening their candidates, shooting up their campaign headquarters, lying to millions to discredit them or trying to steal elections."
