From protests turned violent to eco-nut attacks to campaign finance scandals beyond counting to casual associations with known criminals to the Chicago political machine. The left just seems to draw the criminal element in like nobody's business.

IMO, it has a lot to with a lack of respect for rule of law. When relative morality becomes the order of the day, rule of law is thrown out. Liberals tend to be strongly attracted to relative morality and so are criminals. They both use it to explain away illegal/unethical/immoral acts. Conservative tend more towards a rule of law mindset. They approach things from a legalistic, black and white mindset that criminals tend to avoid.
