The same applies to both sides.
If you want an honest opinion from a non-American, I think it is the Republicans who seem more shrill and reluctant to accept that others may not agree with them.
Both sides need to settle down, agree that they disagree and try not to paint the others as "un-American", "traitors", "enemies of America" blah blah.

This is a late response, sorry. Mr. M., I try to be objective on a lot of these issues and its usually wrong to paint with such a broad brush, but I think that the whole--the other side is an idiot--thing is a democratic trait. Look at how they treated Reagan and Bush compared to Carter and Clinton. Republicans have their own bad traits, even some forms of smugness, but nothing compared to the claimed intellectual superiority of the left
