Sir, the term "[brought to you by] friends of Rick Santorum" is nonspecific and amorphous, but not dangerous. "Enemies of freedom" is nonspecific, amorphous, heavily polarizing, and easily appeals to a mob mentality, and so it is dangerous.

I agree with keystricken.livejournal.com in that it's dangerous but for a different reason.

You do realize that this claim is in fact related to another claim?

I consider it to encompass those other points (which, BTW, I agree with as being more specific than this claim if it were to stand alone, which it's not).

I also agree with Key & Oscar - the "therefore" makes this claim unsupportable.
