I really like Matt Taibbi's take on the current political environment, and he has a good post up today on the labels politicians like Sarah Palin employ to define their opponents (regardless of whether the labels actually apply). This reminds me of students who assume that since the United States once counted both fascists and communists as enemies, then they must be the same thing. It's such a lazy way to think and express oneself that it can't help but corrode political discourse, but how often does anyone get called on it? If it were only Palin, I'd say so what; but sadly, it seems much more widespread and that bugs me.
