Dissent is Hate Speech, Part Infinity-minus-one.

Robert Stacy McCain has the run down on the apoplectic reaction of liberals to the "tea parties" sweeping the country. His post appropriately is titled "WTF" based on this hyperventilation (via Instapundit) by someone who apparently only watches MSNBC:

President Obama was elected democratically, according to the doctrines set forth by the Founding Fathers. The Tea Party movement represents a real danger to the tenets of democracy Americans have embraced for centuries.

The editors of the San Francisco Examiner (I thought it was out of business, no?) put this fearful title on an otherwise reasonable article explaining how the liberal bias of the mainstream media has blinded them to the tea party phenomenon: Tea parties are flash crowds Obama should fear. One commenter, who apparently read the headline but not the article, commented: "Many of those signing on to these tea parties are from the militia movement groups. They are scary and potentially violent."

Got that?  Dissent is now "scary and potentially violent."  When not practiced by people like Code Pinko and International ANSWER, that is.

Ace links to another story talking about a site to report on anti-Obama activities...

A friend of mine sent me a link today to a website called “AMERICAN NETWORK MONITORINGANTI-OBAMA ACTIVITIES“.  I clicked on it and was sent to a homepage decorated in the reds and browns that would have made the SA, feel right at home, and stated a purpose that would make any veteran of the NKVD, KGB, Stasi, or any other fine civic organization charged with protecting the image of any “Dear Leader” who is too busy beneficently toiling away for working class to maintain their image, and punishing those who dare to sully it swell with pride.

But the "dime-out Teh One's non-believers" site is, frankly, so poorly done I honestly think it's a goof.
