If you want to experience intolerance in the reverse direction, visit the Greenpeace community bulletin board. There, the people who hate Bush the most use quite insulting language towards people who express progovernment views.
I must also say that attaching a man's name to a policy, (Bush & Ashcroft's America) and then attacking that man, rather than the policy, was a technique extensively used by the Communist regime in Russia for many years. Thus, the Communists would attack Darwinianism and Mullerianism by attacking Darwin and Muller, rather than the theory of evolution by natural variation and natural selection. It made for a much simpler message. BTW, the person we have to thank for the new homeland (ugh) security regulations doesn't live or vote in this country (USA).
