By and large, the vast majority of liberals don't do what you say above. A few wacky ones fulfil a few of the criteria (and Clinton is a dead horse)!

The right does make mistakes and does many of the same things you accuse liberals of - just flipped 180 degrees. The smearing of Bush's patchy National Guard record was matched to the power of two by the Swift Boat Vets. You need to be able to see that there is probably a grain of truth in the accusations on both sides.

But to be honest, most of what irritates me is the insinuation that merely by opposing the way in which the war on terror is being waged (ie, in Iraq) brands me as a terrorist sympathizer or apologist, when I am far from it.

I just refuse to be a Bush sympathizer or apologist.
