You and others of your persuasion acknowledge both sides have a lunatic fringe, but you don't condemn or disavow yours.

You have to get in line behind me to pull the lever on the gallows for Timothy McVeigh, Bill Ayers, and their like, clinic bombers, and so forth. I condemn, reject, and disavow any such behavior, ESPECIALLY FOR THE SO-CALLED RIGHT-WING KOOKS because they hurt me and what I believe. They have NO PLACE in the conservative cause. To me they are just criminals.

"Somebody" should have shunted them out of the system or put safeguards in place against them long before. That "somebody" is the government that your side places so much faith and trust in to solve every problem. |
