Well, we're back to another round of being called terrorists by the Right. Just go read Ted, Digby, and the Editors.
It pains me to even address this seriously, but... At one time, yes, there were justifications for aligning the "political Left" with "communisim" and then you're a hop skip and a jump away from associating them with being "pro-USSR" and "pro-Stalin." Now, as history progressed those associations were less and less valid until they became totally invalid.
But, now our new scary enemy, "radical Islam," has the good fortune of having nothing to do with the political left as we pretty much love our promiscuity, gay sex, abortions, and banning aall religion whenever possible - especially those religious which get in the way of the aforementioned promiscuity, gay sex, and abortion.
So, just shut the fuck up.
