It is a truism among many on the Left that intolerance is the norm for those on the right. I stumbled upon a piece about the dangers of having McCain/Palin bumper stickers if you live in the tolerant regions of the country. The article itself is not all that noteworthy, but the number and content of the comments are.
The right-wing blogs have coined the term PDS--Palin Derangement Syndrome--for over-the-top reactions to Sarah Palin. One of their favorite examples is this calm and collected piece by Wendy Doniger, Professor of the History of Religions, University of Chicago’s Divinity School. It is entitled "All Beliefs Welcome, Unless They are Forced on Others" and as of this morning had gathered 800 comments, some of them very rude, which I hate seeing.
