You may think this is about a bunch of hidebound old leftists reacting against your bold use of language. It's not. I'm not sure DD would even regard himself as a leftist, and he's certinaly neither hidebound nor old. Most of the rest of us thrive on vigorous language, and even agree with Abbie Hoffman that sacred cow makes the best hamburger.
No, it's about politics. You say things like "fetus killers," then claim you're prochoice. You refer to the "anti-Western left" and its alleged view of Saddam and AQ as noble fighters against imperialism and then deny you're not with Bush and his war. Etc. You may claim the latter, but your language and perseveration say otherwise.
