Liberal hate speech

From the Boston Globe, Jeff Jacoby reviews the year in left-wing looniness (abridged version: when in doubt, Republicans are Nazis):
Overwhelmingly, though, political hate speech today comes from the left. It has increasingly become a habit of leftist argumentation to simply dismiss conservative ideas as evil or noxious rather than rebut them with facts and evidence.

That is why there was no uproar when Cameron Diaz declared that rape might be legalized if women didn't turn out to vote for John Kerry. Or when Walter Cronkite told Larry King that the videotape of Osama bin Laden that surfaced just before the election was "probably set up" by Karl Rove.
The list is comprehensive without mentioning Michael Moore once.
