Quote - Yes, like how righties continue to insist Obama is a Muslim, how he's going to sell out our country to terrorists, how Michelle was never proud of America, and that their "terrorist fist bump" will corrupt our impressionable youth? There's absolutely nothing you can say the Democrats do that the Republicans don't already do uglier and more often. ;)
Oh, there's a considerable difference. You don't see Republican operatives & right-wing bloggers looking for bikini pictures of their female opponents as a way of discrediting them. That sort of attack tends to come strictly from the left side of the political equation.
The primary difference is this: the worst of the dirt coming from the right is held by fringe groups & individuals -- but it clearly isn't the view of the mainstream of the movement. Whereas the kook far left bloggers and their paranoid fantasies do represent what currently passes for the mainstream of the other side. Think "Michael Moore".
