And I am more convinced of it when I read people like The Commissar, and John Cole's response to the Shiavo autopsy.

From Cole:

That is what is going to drive me certifiably insane (or, if you will, drive me into a Sullivanesque hysteria)- the fact that this is so clearly and objectively resolved. The pathological findings, when coupled with the clinical disagnosis, settle this matter beyond any reasonable doubt, and, as far as I am concerned and as Andrew noted, to a level of certainty that is very rare. But the wingnuts will still trudge on, smearing everyone who dares challenge their nonsense.

In a just world, Frist and those who helped to orchestrate this freak-show circus would suffer politically. I don't know if they will, but they lost me. Check my archives- I was far more willing to toe the company line until Schiavo. I was fiercely partisan (although I always tried to speak up when I thought Democrats were being smeared unfairly, hell, I defended Kerry and Kos and got raked over the coals for it), and still, for whatever reason, maintain a residual level of partisanship. But I have most certainly soured on the taste of the kool-aid, and I sure look at everything the Republicans do with a much more skeptical eye than I did in the past.

I hope I am not alone.

Contrast that with La Shawn or Michelle, and you see why some on the Right are begining to disassociate themselves from their more rhetorical brethren.
