I don't recall seeing anything in Wil's article that said that the left wasn't at all contributing to the partisan divide.
A real simple way to look at it is, well, it's a "divide" - so both sides must be equally to blame for it! If only that were true. The right has veered off HARD to the right, while the left has either defended its positions or, believing the right's garbage, inched more the center.
The right's in power in every branch of government, and on radio and TV, not to mention that they, like always, pretty much own everything George Soros hasn't pounced on yet. They are not COMPLETELY to blame for the partisan divide, but they are MOSTLY to blame -- and Wil is right not to play their silly games, but let its ugliness and untruthfulness make it self-destruct...much like the Bush administration is doing now, and it's lapdog TV network that has sunk to inventing "The War on Christmas" in lieu of reporting continuing bad news on its master.
