Now, let me give you examples of true extremism. I knew a lady who knew I was a Reaganite, and yet wondered if I were a socialist because I thought that public libraries were not in principle wrong. I know people who are not merely opposed to gay marriage, but want to prosecute gays for sodomy. I have heard of people who honestly believe in ZOG, the Zionist Occupation Army. But, I must say, they are not commonly Republican, and none of them are active on this thread.

It miffs the people on this thread to be labelled, even indirectly, in that way, and adds to rancor..........

It preceded a better-known, and more scrutinized, memo by the chief prosecutor in the case, Charles LaBella, who urged the same action and also accused his Justice Department superiors of contorting their investigation to avoid triggering an independent counsel... washingtonpost.com
