David, I'm confused. You write, "And if you can give your foes a collective name — liberals, fundamentalists or neocons — you can rob them of their individual humanity. All inhibitions are removed. You can say anything about them."
Isn't that EXACTLY what the Republican party did during the 90s? I'd like you to explain to me why it was OK then, but not OK now? Also, I'd like to know why you always sound so desperate and hysterical.

This is typical behavior from conservative columnists. Having dished it out for the past 8 years or more, these guys simply cannot take it when it's slung back in their direction (never mind that people like Richard Perle are hardly human in behavior or appearance. Ol' Dick looks awfully close to the same species that produced Jabba the Hutt).
But seriously... this column came out the same day the New York Post referred to Howard Dean as a fascist. a Leninist, and then a Bolshevik, all in one column. And it's the LEFT that's demonizing people?
In the words of Don Imus, "Achey-breaky heart? Gimme a fucky-wucky break!"
This is also hot on the tail of a New York Times article excoriating one of Howard Dean's aides for conflict of interest in an HMO deal , a deal the Times admits was "canceled after the audit was made public."
Now what kind of fishing expedition is this? One would think that the Times would have better things to do, considering the behavior of the current administration, and their sweetheart giveaways to their friends in the oil, timber, and insurance industries...
