    Equivalence?

    Maybe Mr. Sunstein can cite equivalent liberal phenomena to the Swiftboaters or the GOP conventioneers sporting their cute little purple bandaids.

    Or Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Michelle Malkin or Ann Coulter.

    Or Bush v. Gore.

    Or the events described in "Blinded by the Right," and "The Hunting of the President" and the numerous exposes of the Bush II regime.

    Note to Mr. Sunstein: Opposition to dangerous radicals (based on ruinous economic damage, loss of liberty and literal death and destruction) does not make one a dangerous radical.
