Either jump on the bandwagon or suffer the consequences.....as a firm believer in the 1st amendment, no matter if I agree or not, it is vital that we fight to keep the ability to have a dissenting views voiced.....and yes I defended those that disagreed with the past administration as much as our right to voice our disagreement with the policies of the current one. It started as political correctness and is growing to suppressing any disent of those in power which leads us down a path that is not the democracy we Americans hold so dear.... the very reason whay freedom of speech is the first amendment to the constitution...
From Bloomberg:
So Michele Bachmann’s version of history is “from another planet.” Bobby Jindal, the Republican governor of Louisiana, is “chronically stupid.” And Eric Cantor of Virginia, the second-ranking Republican in the House, is “busy lying constantly.” ....That at least is according to posts on three left-leaning blogs......Writers who are not pro-Barack Obama are suffering character assassination as well. George Will of the Washington Post, the nation’s senior conservative columnist, has been so assaulted by bloggers that his editor, Fred Hiatt, recently wrote, “I would think folks would be eager to engage in the debate, given how sure they are of their case, rather than trying to shut him down.” ...The disconcerting thing isn’t that the bloggers or their guests did this slamming. We’re used to such vitriol in campaign time. What is surprising is that the attacks are continuing after an election. ....In the past, politicians and policy thinkers tended to be magnanimous in victory. They and their friends focused, post- victory, on policy and strategy -- not on trashing individuals.....It ought to be especially true this time, given what wonders are befalling the Democrats. Between Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Al Franken in Minnesota, it looks like the Democrats are in the process of making their Senate majority filibuster-proof. Then there’s the president’s new opportunity to mold the Supreme Court, with the resignation of David Souter. ...Still, somehow, the magnanimity isn’t there. Indeed, the closer the Democrats get to total power, the nastier the commentators friendly to them have become.
