Voices of moderation

Say, conservatives--when was the last time a liberal acquaintance of yours complained about conservative or Republican "extremism"?
Happens all the time, right? Well, funny thing is, it's out liberal friends who are often the most extreme. Here are two recent examples:

First, see what a Democratic congressman has to say about our government's Department of Homeland Security:

"You know who is in charge now? The Gestapo agents at [the Department of] Homeland Security. They are in charge."

Meanwhile, here Byron York of NRO reports that serious voices on the left are calling for "Nuremberg-style tribunals" by which to put on trial members of the Bush administration for "war crimes", should there be an Obama victory in November.

Wow.
