Even Political Debate

Recently, I've taken steps to try to avoid becoming the kind of hate-filled, misrepresentative bigot that I fear and despise (although some of my posts to this blog probably don't give that impression). One of my favorite websites is Spinsanity, a site that chronicles misrepresentation and spin by both liberals and conservatives in the media (and, unlike most places that profess to do this, really does give equal time to refuting lies by both sides). Now, the Spinsanity editors have a weekly column in the Philadelphia Inquirer, the first of which you can read here about political hate speech - both the practices of the left that have been labelled as such by the right, and the right's inflammatory use of the term as a political tool.
