This is where I strongly disagree.
Yes both sides have nut-bars, yes both sides have vocal people.
But nothing compares to the craziness, misinformation and veracity of the right during a democratic presidency.
People like to pretend its an equal balance, but its beyond even being close. The fear mongering and outright lies of the right is beyond anything the 'liberals' (for you peter) could even attempt.

The funny part is that while people claim they are all for alternative view points and open discussion they are colored by their own prejudice.
"Sure our side has some nut bars... but theirs are much worse"
Theirs are only worse because you see truth in their position despite how extreme it is. It is the side of the issue for "your" team.
I am not trying to single you out, but you hear the exact same things from the supposed moderates on both sides. That is how polarized the politics have become.
Show me how Rush Limbaugh, Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman, Sean Hannity or Rachael Maddow are any different other than their choice of media outlet.
The right owns Talk Radio and the left TV and movies, it is just how it is. Although i would give a slight edge to the left with Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan.
