3. Republicans are bad
neo-cons are 100 x worse. It's them that gots to be neutered and spayed. They should be banned from ever holding public office again. In fact the whole neo-con movement should be branded forever as the nightmarish failure that it has turned out to be.

9. Denazification worked ok in the Germanies
Really well in the East.

Not as well in the West, but at least only one former Nazi became head of state. (Kiesinger)

11. Not me
I refuse to engage in silly blacklisting...

"Waaah! X doesn't agree with me, therefore X must be evil!"

14. You don't agree with me, you must be evil!
;-) just joking. It isn't so much that they don't agree with me so much as they systematically are making everything in the country absolutely horrible. Maybe they might be nice in their personal lives, but when they start making the country unlivable then it bothers me.

19. Human, misguided, and too damn stubborn.
It bothers me too. But that doesn't mean I think they're evil.

21. That, I can agree to
With the cavet that there may come a time in the future where the Democratic Party is the same way - especially if the left continues to try and siphon off liberal voters to other parties.

16. Assume X =
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perl, Frum, Kristol, Hannity, Limbaugh, Inofe, Delay, Sessions, Rove, Novak, Rowland, Gillespie, Murdoch, O'Lielly, Hume, Blitzer, Crowley, etc, etc, etc and your formula sure seems to work for me...

17. They aren't evil
They're human.

Most of them have honestly held beliefs - they just happen to be very, very wrong beliefs. That doesn't mean that they're evil.

And no, even if one accepted that some of those people were evil, it wouldn't be because they disagreed... Defining someone as evil just because they dsagree with you is pretty sophomoric. It's the same type of behavior that I get upset with the Bush Administration for doing - everyone who disagrees with them is accused of supporting the terrorists.
