Justified accusations of McCarthyism against MoveOn.org should not obscure other attempts to squelch dissent with unfair, pejorative labeling of those who dissent.
On that subject, the superb Juan Williams offers some timely comments at Time. His dissent is on the subject of race and culture. For that, he has been labeled with a racially pejorative term by people who identify with the socially constructed group that is his own race. The irony is that he, a black liberal, finds common cause in this matter with the white conservative Bill O'Reilly.
