With all due respect, this is not a new phenomenon at FR.
Yep. This episode doesn't even seem too bad.
You are correct. This has taken place over other issues as well. It just seems that the Miers nomination has brought a great deal of frustration to a head and I would rather see us debate this rationally than degenerate into childish name-calling.
In my opinion, the name-calling and labels are worse than I ever remember on FR.
