Irrational: Left-Wingers Institute Witch Hunt Against CNN's Erick Eric
It's an archaic way of thinking - unless it's imposed upon conservatives, then it's OK. It's this notion that commentators that are right-of-center should know their place - that place being only in the realms of talk radio or on the Fox News Channel. Otherwise, it is unacceptable.

Joy Behar in Leno Appearance to Glenn Beck: 'I Don’t Give a Flying
