Troubling signs on the Left

Good roundup here.
A few on the left show a disturbing lack of knowledge of what "freedom" truly means.
Don't believe it? Look at what some of them are saying today--too many of them being also Obama supporters, by the way. From the article linked to above:

"Over at the website BanSUVs.com, an outpost of the type of thinking that prevails in Obamaland, the goal, as the name of their site proclaims is just that: banning SUVs because they are "endangering peoples lives" and are "high polluting." The Obama point that we should no longer enjoy the freedom to "keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times, whether we're living in the desert or we're living in the tundra" has already emerged as a proposal in California. In this Obamaland vision the state would mandate that every heating and cooling system in a private dwelling include a "non-removable" FM receiver that would allow the government to decide the temperature inside your home."

And:

"...
the demand is on for a Nuremberg-style trial for oil executives. Applauding the sentiments of climate "scientist" James Hansen, who suggested as much in a recent appearance before Congress, one enthusiastic denizen in the Daily Kos precincts of Obamaland put things more succinctly: "Put the bastards on trial on national television."

Mad at Elizabeth Edwards

Some on the hard left are mad at her, that is. Her husband is one of their favorite candidates. But Mrs. Edwards committed the cardinal sin of criticizing MoveOn.org over their anti-Petraeus ad. So they're mad. And yes, almost scary mad: "So here’s the rule. You never repeat right wing talking points to attack your own, ever. You never enter that echo chamber as a participant. Ever."

Why do I have this feeling that Communist Party cell leaders were saying this kind of thing back in the 1930s.
