Under that definition, everyone who posts here is a fanatic.

So Clinton, Gore, the Dem. leadership, etc. are all fanatics because they demonized their opponents or mislead while advocating or discarded the truth? Not to defend them, but who decided what is truth and what is demonization? If you've thought things over and someone is telling you something that is at odds with your core belief, then why should you "listen"?

I think labels have to be very factually based. Liar-- Clinton or Nixon. Perjurer -- Clinton. My point being "fanatic" is too subjective and open to interpretation. Which is not to say I'm not guilty of the same thing from time to time. <g>
