That after watching that you think the GUARDIAN'S the one over the top here? Joel Send a noteboard - 08/02/2011 04:02:04 PM
One extremist using the words and actions of a small group of people to smear a larger group of people complaining because an extremist is using the words and actions of a small group to smear a larger group.

Except I don't think that the Guardian is trying to smear all conservatives, just documenting the dangerously out of touch extremism of Beck, Fox and their true believers. On the plus side, it appears you ARE capable of siding with liberals against conservatives after all, so I guess that's something. Unfortunately, I think most of the liberals jumping on the bash Mubarak bandwagon are doing so largely because he's a conservative aligned with the US, largely blind to the many potential replacements as much or more brutal and repressive as he is, so I'm not sure where that leaves us. I'd love to see a peaceful democracy in Egypt; unfortunately that's just not how the Mid-East works and much of why it doesn't, no matter how many conservatives try to force it on Iraq or how many liberals try to force it on Egypt.
And soirry the "you can't make fun of our biased news source while we are trying to make fun of yours" argument really doesn't carry much weight.

The Guardian may be biased, though you'll need to provide more credible evidence than laughing at Glenn Beck, but at least it isn't predicting war to the knife in the streets of every city on Earth if Mubarak doesn't retain power. This would be a good time to remind me that the right doesn't indulge violent imagery for the sake of inflammatory rhetoric.
