Invective

Michael Medved uncorked a good one yesterday when he referred to the ACLU as the American Criminal Liars Union.

That's pretty harsh, but then the ACLU has shown itself on numerous occasions to be a contemptible bunch of leftist shysters.

What justifies the use of invective? The fact that we are in a war.  Why are we in a war?  Because there is no longer the common ground upon which to resolve differences.  And what has brought us to this pass?  The fact that so-called 'liberals' are becoming more and more extreme.
