When we talk about the tone in this country, let’s have an honest discussion about the toxicity that right-wing talking heads have been spewing for two decades. It is far in excess of anything that has come from the left.

Titles of their books (many of them bestsellers), and the year of their release:

• Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty Over Liberalism (Hannity, 2002)
• The Savage Nation: Saving America from the Liberal Assault on Our Borders, Language, and Culture (Savage, 2002)
• Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism (Coulter, 2003)
• The Enemy Within: Saving America from the Liberal Assault on Our Churches, Schools, and Military (Savage, 2003)
• Deliver Us from Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism (Hannity, 2004)
• Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder (Savage, 2005)
• The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and its Responsibility for 9/11, (D’Souza, 2011)
• Crimes Against Liberty (D. Limbaugh, 2010)
• To Save America (Gingrich, 201)
• Pinheads and Patriots: Where You Stand in the Age of Obama (O’Reilly, 2010)
• Demonic: How the Liberal Mob is Endangering America (Coulter, 2011)
• Adios, America: The Left’s Plan to Turn Our Country Into a Third World Hellhole (Coulter, 2015)
• Rediscovering Americanism: And the Tyranny of Progressivism (Levin, 2017)
• The Big Lie: Exposing the Nazi Roots of the American Left (D’Souza, 2018)
• Liars, Leakers, and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy (Pirro, 2018)

This isn’t even a complete list — I’m sure that there are other titles that escaped my attention. Is it any wonder that conservatives in this country think that liberals hate America and are out to destroy it? If you think the left is just as bad, by all means, please refute me. Make a list of best-selling books by liberal commentators with titles just as inflammatory — titles that paint conservatives as hating America, to the point of committing treason or becoming traitors. Show me how there’s a left-wing noise machines that is spewing out venom with the same intensity and regularity as the right.
