Michael,

The extreme left in this country is a disgrace and totally ignorant of the threats out there. But the so-called conservatives who demonize all dissent and label all who disagree as traitors will end up crossing an equally as dangerous line as the crazy leftys.

This is a recurrent theme in the MSM - moral equivalence. The difference is while fundamentalist christians may support the Republican party at this time, I am unaware of any actions by the President or his close advisors trying to suppress dissent. Suppressing speech lately has actually been a left-of-center meme.

On the other hand the Democratic leadership is hand-in-hand with the extreme-left (such as Moveon.org).

So while there are right-wing nutcases calling Democrats and liberals names, there are plenty of elected Democrats calling those they oppose criminals and working with groups such as Moveon.org and others that are even advocating violence.

But I guess its all the same?
