For a perfect example of why I tend not to take either the pedestrian left or pedestrian right at all seriously, compare these two statements. From Democrats.com:
Bush has violated the public trust, not just by stealing the election, but also by selling America out to a neo-Nazi-esque secretive group calling itself the Federalist Society...They are a meanspirited, anti-American club of mostly white, mostly male ultrarightwingers who have since 1979 (when they helped ram Reagan into office)worked relentlessly behind the scenes, backed by untold stores of money and power, to tear America as we know it down.
And from StopTheACLU.org:
From their founding by self professed Communists in 1920 until present day, their main goal was to turn the United States into a socialist nation. That is why Stop The ACLU was formed. And the goal of our organization is exposing the ACLU for what they really are, terrorists hell bent on destroying our way of life.
The irony here is that the halfwits and morons spouting this nonsense on both sides look at the other side as hopelessly unenlightened, each of them oblivious to the fact that they think almost exactly alike. All you have to do is change the nouns around in their rhetoric.
