Michelle Malkin has taken intolerant Liberals to task for their double standards, disrespect, and lack of civility about the Miss California/Carrie Prejean fiasco.
But in the Age of Obama, there’s no room for such nuance and inconvenient truths. A decent young woman is a “dumb b*tch” for holding the same view of marriage as the Obamessiah. A conservative campus speaker is bullied as a hatemonger by wild-eyed hatemongers. A grassroots movement is debased as a bunch of racist vulgarians by a media mob of racists and vulgarians. Civility and tolerance have taken a left-hand turn down a one-way street. So much for changing course.I disagree with Malkin’s assertion that left wing rage and incivility is merely an effect of the “Age of Obama.” This has been happening for longer than a few months; and, it’s getting worse. Blogger Andrea Tantaros also leverages her crowbar, painting a more accurate picture:
This issue goes beyond beauty contests and reveals a much scarier truth: You cannot voice a dissenting opinion without being assaulted by the progressive left. The left is not interested in debating, only suppressing debate. Destroying your life and career is the sentence for anyone who dissents on these issues. The activists will carry out the sentence with the willing assistance of a compliant media.Many on the left incorporated rage and abuse into their political discourse during the Bush years and the Miss USA/gay marriage fiasco is partly a result of that incorporation. Conservatives must continue to challenge the left (and often themselves) to return to more civil and respectful discourse. If conservatives fail in this task, the left may well continue down the dark path of hate they have chosen.

Wow, you gotta be freakin’ kidding me.
The Tea Party Movement really has brought out the ghastly, dark creatures from deep under the left blogsphere. The Hard Left’s screaming banshee Jill Tubman takes the “all conservatives are racist” narrative to a new, disquieting level in her post
