What concerns me more than the right-wing hate machine, whose response has been predictable, is the left wing hate machine getting its gears in motion as well. The neocons have been systematically trying to tear down each and every true voice of dissent in this country for some time. They've kicked it into high gear recently, going after more public figures such as Churchill and Moyers. They've apparently done their job quite well since we now see those on the left, those who should look past the smoke and mirrors and *not* accept what this right wing drones are saying at face value, not just helping them but turning up the rhetoric even higher.

It sickens me.

Put face to face with Churchill, I'd probably never run out of things about which we could argue intensely. But, I'd leave those arguments feeling more enlightened than when I started. I'd say the same thing about people like Malcom-X and various other voices who the right wing attempted to silence not so much with a direct assault as efforts to turn their ideological allies against them.
