Scary stuff on the right

You know, next time a guy like Michael Moore releases some drivel so that public opinion about America here or across Europe goes all wonky and is more comparable to the streets of Teheran (though this might change), which in turn compromises US security in the long run and isn't a fun experience for those who have a problem with insanity, I will also think that all Democrats are traitors to their country because they didn't "step up" (and shot him or what?).

Did you read my initial post? I gave several examples of conservatives with balls who stood up against the madness.

It's not the media suddenly deciding to focus on right wing nutjobs, it's the media suddenly noticing right wing nutjobs because those nutjobs have become a lot more active in the past year or so. The point of Smith's talk wasn't to say "Fox News gets a lot of crazy mail," since I'm sure Fox News and every other network has always gotten their fair share of crazy mail. His point was that the amount of crazy mail has increased dramatically in the past year or so, and that the increase is what's scary.
