Well, see the hypocrisy of the Republicans.

I do not know one single period during the history of the United States were more people has been watched than the recent period under a republican president. Muslims, peace-activists, leftists, people critical of Bush.

It should be us rising in popularity, not them. :( We're the ones who actually want to achieve something apart from hate. I guess recessions/depressions see the rise of both extremes through since both got support in the 1930's.

Here in Canada I don't think we even have one center-left mainstream newspaper. THey're all typically controlled by the same company which tends to be center-right.
