Reply #29: This is the difference between the Democrats and the Republicans. [View All]

[Occam Bandage]

Sure, there are plenty of Democrats who like to call Republicans fascist and such, and there are plenty of Democrats who believe any tinfoil they come across about Bush and Cheney. We keep them in safe little pressure-release valves like DU and Kos, while the moderate majority works on keeping up a respectable, approachable, sane-looking face.

In the Republican party, the freepers are actually in control. Their name-calling and Obamaphobic tinfoil are the public face of the party. They've completely lost track of the distinction between the base and the fringe.
