I love Mark Steyn but I wonder if he isn't taking this a little too light heartedly. I think these anti-Christian bigots are deadly serious. They really intend to push Christians out of the public square.
The left has clearly moved from 'Christian conservatives are wrong', to Christian conservatives are dangerous. Demonization is simply the first overt step on the path to silencing. Once you label your opponent as being "fascist" or engaging in "hate" speech then you can drop your pretense of supporting free speech. In Europe and Canada you already can see the use of laws against hate speech being used to suppress free speech of Christians.

I am convinced that the left is in the early stages of trying to suppress opposition view points. If they win the Presidency in 2 years they will use the FCC, the fairness doctrine, phony antitrust investigations, and the a main stream media propaganda blitz to shut down Fox News and Talk radio. They will attack conservative blogs with frivolously law suits for copyright infringement and libel.

And silencing is the first overt step on the path to something that looks a lot like Auschwitz.
