In the name of civility … shut up!

It's easy to chalk up this story:

Asian-American lawmakers demand Limbaugh apology

as more silliness from the left.

I wish it were simply over-sensitivity coupled with partisanship. But, as regular readers know, I think more's afoot. Given half a chance, there's an intolerant streak within the modern American left that would silence critics by the force of government.

This element within the Obama faithful can justify almost anything in their zeal to over-regulate American life, from salt intake to comedy. Be afraid. Very afraid.
