"it makes it harder to bash Bush and the Republicans if they actually admit we have an enemy and then describe them."

Liberals are still totally locked into the 1960s slogan "we have met the enemy, and the enemy is us." They actually do seem to believe that Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson pose a bigger threat to liberal values than Osama Bin Laden and Al Quaeda. I first saw this mentality attending movies near the UW campus 35 years ago. Any character who expressed any traditional idealistic sentiments, any chivalry, any sense that Western civilization embodied authentic values, was greeted with hoots of derision and mockery.

For once, liberals are right. They have met each other and they are the enemy. ;)

Of course you are right but there is more to it than that. Their fight against Falwell and Robertson is a fight against God and Falwell and Robertson just happen to be high profile representatives of God. Same with James Dobson. Religion and morality mitigate against their attempt to impose moral relativism and their Godless "earthly paradise".

They also want to see this administration defeated so that they can regain power. They will pursue that even if it means the defeat of America, which they are trying to replace with another kind of government.
