P.S. Note the interesting use of the word "plot." Some assh*le(s) evidently brought an idea of planning some kind of violent action to a vote. They lost. Kerry spoke against it, and resigned. Sounds to me that there was an extremist faction that wanted to work on a plot, but they were too small to get a plot going. If every time an extremist in any organization made a proposal and it was voted down all the participants in the meeting at which it was raised could be called "plotters" in the extremist's scheme, it'd be pretty easy to get everybody in an organization you wanted to discredit labeled a "plotter" for one dastardly scheme or another -- just send a few agents provocateur to the meeting, have them table a motion to set a fire, and voila, everybody's been plotting to commit arson.
