We're too fair

It's interesting to see the liberal explanations for the IRS scandal.
Andy Schmookler, Democratic candidate for Congress in 2012, goes back to the "we're too eager to please."
As it is, I do see something really dangerous having happened to the liberal half of America, and to the leadership of the Democratic Party in the past decade plus that is indeed dangerous-- the combination of blindness and spinelessness which accounts for the failure to do battle vigorously against the force that's arisen on the right.
Please.
