Here's one difference between conservatives and liberals. Conservatives apparently believe their own propaganda. I don't know how many times Democrats have been called terrorist-lovers, traitors, Marxists, etc. over the past 8 years... not just by the Republican base, but by Republican politicians who should know better.
I just don't hear the same reality-free vitriol coming from liberals.

Hmmm. My calling the CaptainHaplo's composite of liberal extreme behavior a communist would seem to fit, just as calling a composite of extreme conservative behavior a fascist would seem to fit in my view. This is not saying because you have a liberal or conservative leaning, you are one or the other. And I think both do pretty well at the propaganda game after their own fashion.
If this thread boils down to a name calling war, the purpose will be lost. Let's try to keep the tone less inflammatory or I can see that CastlBravo's opinion may yet prevail. The original post from CaptainHaplo was in the right direction from a conservative stance. We need a similar response from a liberal stance for balance.
