blue bits. red rocks.

Conservative supremacists are willing to wage “revolution” over routine policy matters like a top tax rate change of a few percentage points or expanded health care coverage, yet are perfectly willing to invest their Leaders with the power to inprison persons without charge and torture them, to void the 4th amendment and to generally trample the Constitution. As a society we need to recognize that an ability to believe that Democrats want to kill old people and babies reflects a prejudice on the part of the believer comparable to other forms of prejudice, e.g believing Jews want to control the world or blacks are dumber than whites. It is a bigotry that is fomented not just by fringe extremists like Steve Anderson or Randall Terry, but at a mainstream level by Sean Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, Coulter and the rest of their ilk.
