Equating the right and the left in this is just buying into the lies. Its the lack of an ability to tell righteous indignation from trumped up crap.

For example
Firebombing a mosque draws righteous indignation,
The "War on Christmas"
Trumped up crap.
Why shouldn't Wal*Mart be allowed to say "Happy Holidays" if only to include the 20-20% of their customers who are not practicing Christians?

Saying that you can both balance the budget and cut taxes, is a lie and it draws righteous indignation.

Saying that the Democrats want huge, job killing tax increases when they are only talking about repealing a 3% drop on the marginal rate on income over 250K is trumped up crap. The increases are not huge and they are not even increases. They are the expiration of decreases that The Republicans themselves put a limit on.
