I think it's reprehensible for what is supposedly the "mainstream" of the republican party to be sitting on their hands while the birthers, death panelers, and other hate-mongers spread their outright lies. They are facilitating the spread of this nonsense through their silence.
I am trying to think of a present example on the left that would further explain this to a broader audience, but it eludes me at the moment... I can only hope that if the democrats began heaping on absurdity in the same manner, I would have the sense to speak out, and I would expect the same of my democratic representatives.
