The American Spectator

Point 15: Most Google searches trying to find examples of respected conservatives calling liberals or Democrats “unpatriotic” or “un-American” would be fruitless. But examples of leading Democrats calling Republicans or conservatives “un-American” are multitudinous.

Point 16: President Bush and his official spokesmen have used language far less nasty toward their Democratic opponents than President Clinton and his official spokesmen (especially Mike McCurry) used toward their Republican opponents. In fact, it is virtually impossible to find President Bush himself ever using harsh language about the left, even though Harry Reid and company have used the most scathing language toward him. He promised to change the tone in Washington, and he, himself, has lived up to that pledge. (More’s the pity. The blame-America-first crowd that runs the Washington Democratic Party deserves to be called on the carpet.)

Okay, that’s plenty for now. The mainstream media lives in too much of a leftist echo chamber to ever hear any of this, anyhow.
