All I am saying is that we don't have to resort to the same level the other side is doing.

Yes, both sides have their fringe. I happen to believe the conservative fringe is small and the liberal fringe is large (in fact their mainstream). As a result I don't like some small group creating a perception of 'equality' between our extremes.

The LGF board goes too far in this area - the fact that an extremist may attend a tea party protest, does not make tea party participants extremists. On the other hand, the moveon.org and codepink protests and rallies were almost entirely organized and attended by radicals.

Questioning ourselves is not falling into sheeple mode....
