Another Sign that Political Discourse May Be Becoming More Civil

Salon prints a piece by a college professor who has discovered that a "white supremacist" student is actually human.

I am reminded of that supposed quote from Mahatma Gandhi: "first they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you have won." Isn't this just the parabola we have been watching regarding the treatment of the right by the dominant left over the last twenty years or so? Hasn't the very violence and unreasonableness of the left's responses for some time suggested fundamental weakness, rather than strength, on their side?
