Say again? Perata Now Against Name Calling?

Here's a gem from this morning's SacBee story on the state budget situation:

Perata...urged Schwarzenegger to keep the situation from escalating into name calling, as it did Wednesday with Perata accusing Republicans of "fiscal terrorism" for demanding more cuts. (emphasis added)

This might be called, "stop me before I name call again."

That's right, the same people who claim to be all about "tolerance" all day, every day, are also the first ones to start calling people they disagree with on policy "terrorists." It's hard to miss the hypocrisy.

Either you're for tolerating alternative points of view and having a robust debate that leads to a compromise and a balanced budget, or everyone who disagrees with you is a "terrorist" -- pick one, guys.
