    I wasn't feeling well when I wrote the response. Now that I feel better, I still think it describes my opinion. There is no way, red, that you can compare the far lefts constant protesting to that of us on the "far right". The examples you pointed out are few and far in between. A lot of the individuals in your examples aren't even politically motivated, but have very strong feeling on one particular subject.

    You should have just said, "Yep, the far left has a lot of crazy people", and left it at that. I could post examples of how ludacris the left is, but Brett would get upset at me for taking up too much bandwidth. :grin:

    Both sides have extremists. The Baptist Church of Topeka Kansa. Tim McVeigh, and the Freedmen immediatly come to mind from the right wing side. Get this. I know this one right wing guy who would favor the extermination of all Muslims.

    The examples you guys try to use are silly though. The Baptist church or topeka kansas is one idiot guy and his inbreed family members. Tim Mcveigh is one guy.....and the only people calling this guy right wing are you, red, and CNN.

    Yes, right-wing feelings. But you are right in a way . . . there is no comparison between the peaceful exercise of a constitutional right to protest and the bombings and murderous protests from the extreme right.

    Ludicrous perhaps, the tree huggers can be silly for sure, but terrorism on the scale of the clinic snipers, Oklahoma City, or the Olympic bombings? I'd be interested to see those examples, amigo.

    I can understand why you would want to distance yourself from these kooks and criminals, but they ARE right-wing extremists.

    I distance myself from Greenpeace, liberal extremists who do more harm than good on the environmental movement. But they don't kill people.

    McVeigh was a disciple of The Turner Diaries, the bible of the extreme right. He claimed that the bombing was revenge for "what the U.S. government did at Waco and Ruby Ridge." Both incidents were right-wing extremists that fought the US government with weapons.

    Not that it matters, but the people in Topeka actively campaigned for Al Gore. Politically they supported the Democrats.

    No they didn't. Fred Graves briefly supported Gore's 1988 bid for the nomination because Gore had opposed a gay bill of rights in Tennessee in 1984. He was bitterly anti-Clinton over gay rights. In the 2000 presidential election Graves and his church were extremely critical of Gore. The entire Westboro congregation picketed a 1997 inaugural ball, denouncing Gore as a "famous fag pimp."

    Graves and the Westboro Church have one agenda--anti-gay. This is not a liberal agenda, it is a conservative agenda. But basically the guy is a kook.
