You and others of your persuasion acknowledge both sides have a lunatic fringe, but you don't condemn or disavow yours. You just say "sure everybody has nutcases", turn it into a sexist joke, or try to turn it into a justification for meddling in the lawful rights of others, or as an accusation ala Napolitano. 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. The code pink sillycases may not be violent at least so far, but they are disruptive and costly agents that interfere with the business-like conduct of public affairs. They were recently threatened with ejection (maybe actually ejected?) from hearings favorable to their own point of view. As it happens, today is the tenth anniversary of the Columbine incident. The irony is that the two nut-case perps were well-known by the people and authorities were notified long before they mounted their senseless massacre. "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.
