I don't think what they are doing is wrong. I can disagree with the positions they take without having to watch them if I happen to hear about their position through other channels or distributions every day. I assume you and willravel don't watch the opposing side at all, yet you have strong opinions about what they say. Why would you watch them? I assume your answer is the same as mine, but mine covers both sides.

I have been equally critical of ANSWER, MoveOn.org and others on the left...not for their policies, but when their rhetoric was excessive and far to mean-spirited. IMO, it is counter-productive.
But, if you cant acknowledge that the rhetoric in the media in recent years is far more vitriolic than anytime in our lifetime, and far more from the right than the left, then with all due respect, IMO, you have been living under a rock.
If that vitriol is ok with you, then absolutely, dont be part of any attempt to try to tone it down.
