The proof that there is partisanship by those who ignore the equivalence of the rhetoric is in the labeling of Democrats who are opposed to the location of the Park 51 center as ‘cowards’ or ‘political hacks’ while labeling republicans as bigots.

The rhetoric of the party out of power is over the top, no matter what party it is, and it is only ‘worse now’ because it is now.
