I feel really bad about scaeagles feeling turned away. I was following that thread, and really didn't see much out of the common LoT vernacular of occasional excess.
I don't follow every link, but I'm not sure how to compare liberal excesses and conservative excesses as anything but apples and oranges. For one thing, even during the reign of Bush, I didn't see much advocation of violence against him or other members of his government. I also didn't see any sky-is-falling stories about what MIGHT happen, but rather condemnation with solid and thoughtful evidence of what HAS happened. Some of that may have included predictions of further consequences based on what HAS happened, but those predictions were usually thoughtful and based on solid evidence of historical fact.
I'm sure there's some prejudice of mine creeping into that assessment, but that's how I see it.
