Crying wolf on the issue of evil

Bravo to Micahel Medved for pointing out the avoidance (on the left) and overuse (on the right), of labeling people evil

"Liberals regularly discredit themselves by their refusal to recognize the existence of evil in this world, and with their notorious reluctance to call that evil by its proper name. As conservatives, on the other hand, we occasionally undermine our cause by crying wolf on evil – imputing wickedness and malevolence to those with whom we merely disagree in ongoing debates on government policy."
