		<description>A big problem with this kind of rhetorical approach is that it depends on a numbers game that the left can&#039;t win.

Say I have almost complete control of the media, which allows me to state what I want about my political opponents with almost no chance of response. In most cases this works to my advantage. I can marginalize a Sara Palin, or pro-lifers, or outspoken immigration policy critics and get a large percentage of people to agree with me.

But what happens if I start using the same media to diss groups of people that until now have not been identifiable activists? What happens when I start calling Tea Partyers &quot;fascists,&quot; or &quot;rightwingers,&quot; or &quot;domestic terrorists?&quot; 

What happens is that I&#039;m calling people names whom many other people know personally do not fit those descriptions at all. Instead of starting a prairie fire of loathing against my opponents, I&#039;ve started a backfire against me instead. 

One of our greatest hopes is that leftist arrogance and their beloved echo chamber will continue blocking rational thought. Let them keep pouring on the slurs and epithets. When you heap scorn and contempt on a man&#039;s good neighbor, and describe him in vile ways, that man will NOT come over to your side.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;A Chinese dissident who tried to organize a national meeting of the banned China Democracy Party has been sentenced to 13 years in jail for subverting state power&lt;/i&gt;

If by &quot;state power&quot; he means national government power... hell, I &lt;b&gt;live&lt;/b&gt; to subvert state power!  If only I could join a strong movement across the country to reclaim the 10th Amendment for all of the American people.</description>
