Not particularly. I probably feel the same as yourself when I bandy round all-purpose blanket statements that I think I can justify, but once those statements are examined they're either empty or half the truth. Did you catch Goldberg's comparison between the Nazi's and the Dems?

For me it's no more worrying than the way Clinton and Gore seemed to like to use the Lenninistic philosophy of 'Vanguardism' which belives that the workers (or the masses) aren't able to act in their own interests and need an elite to lead them in revolution. (The race and class warfare of the election is a good example of that...also the WW2-sized taxes pretty much underline the point) It's safe to say that the picture is pretty much the same as it was during Clinton's heyday, except the band is different.

I suppose that makes two of us... I'm deeply, deeply sorry that I dare to try and give as good as I get. There was me thinking that only good, patriotic Republicans are allowed to rush to judgement on people.
