    "Talk about something scary. I glanced at the original article and 3 or 4 of the blogs. If this writer and the bloggers who write blogs by the hundreds represent the left in this country we have much of be afraid of. The far radial left which make up these stories and the bloggers appear they would rather take over and destroy the United States more than anything else. Very, Very Scary."

    All the below comments come from a registered Independent, neither Democrat nor Republican:

    The far radial left? Maybe, in your haste to post nothing but weirdly vitrolic rants about "The Left" all over Salon's pages (nice history of postings there - no one can say you aren't firm in your beliefs) you've lost sight of clear communication.

    In any event, it's only ignorance I fear - and I fear your ignorance. Only someone utterly committed to an ideology without regard for its abuses and inconsistencies would comment this way on what is, to a cool and collected mind, a recounting of actual events sworn to under penalty of perjury. While you may take issue with the writer's tone, facts are facts - and only a zealot ignores cold facts that contradict their own opinion.
