Thousands of people in a country as large as this one is really not "many". It's like saying there are "many" devil worshipers. You could probably round up several thousand across the entire country, but that's not "many" in any sense of the world when talking about the religious make up of the US. Surely you would agree that proportional representation is quite important here. Groups with only a a few thousand members are basically impotent, unless they have tons of money- and I do not think white supremacists are blessed with large capital funds, are they?

"You have a problem with describing thousands of people as "many"? "

Yeah - I have a problem with that. It is a nasty characterization based on your twisted perceptions of our country. Of course in my mind - the real hate lives in the far looney hate left! I will not characterize the looney hate left as wanting to kill people.
