Re: To "rightists"

Judging by the record of history, I would say it's leftists that have trouble tolerating democratic institutions.

When you all get to where you can no longer tolerate the majority of Americans disagreeing with you, we are in big trouble.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but a majority of Americans (about 60 percent at last count) agree with Bush and me, at least on Iraq.

What's really annoying is that once again, the Left gets a free pass in the Guilt By Association wars. The demonstrations are organized and financed by anti-American communists? So what? Most of the demonstrators aren't anti-American communists, so it apparently isn't relevant to you, the media, or other apologists for the demonstrators.

If a march for a conservative cause (pro-life for example) turned out to have been organized and funded by the neo-Nazi National Alliance, the headlines announcing this would be six inches high, and pundits would trample each other to death to denounce every last person in the march, down to the kids in the strollers. The fact that most of the marchers were not neo-Nazis would matter not a bit as they were all tarred and feathered by their association with the extremists.

Hell, a conservative can get reamed for just entering the same Zip code as Bob Jones University.
