Are the New Brown Shirts, Blue Shirts? Redux

Yesterday, I posted what is once again the title to this post.  Yesterday’s post commented on the number of individuals at the Kerry/Dean rally at GWU wearing almost identically colored blue shirts.  This morning, I stop by Reynolds’ blog and find this post. The post informs us about a pro-Bush blogger who was “beaten up” at an anti-Bush rally.  What is quoted below, comes from an email to Reynolds, from reader Greg Miskin, which is part of the post at Reynolds’ site.

"Something I never wanted to believe seems to be playing out daily: the Democratic party has been overrun by totalitarians. The party is marginalizing old-guard Dems who might (might!) hold differing opinions but who also could be counted on for civility and a rational basis for their arguments. . . .

There is no room for dissent, discourse, debate. My experience is that people behave this way when they hold indefensible beliefs, and they know just how weak their position is. A dog with this behavior is called a “fear-biter” and I can think of no better description for these people."

Are the new brown shirts, blue shirts?
