I might have to delete all the posts that result, though. Extremists, of either the left or the right, don't like to be identified as such, for they don't see themselves like that. You might want to take a look at the post on George Lakoff and his concept of framing before tossing fuel on the fire by pointing out to extremists that they are extremists, though! :-) It really is all about framing - I've found George Lakoff's insights very helpful in understanding where other people are coming from!

Can I copy it and post it there? They are rabid and are ripping the heads off of us who are more liberal-minded and not Jesus freaks or McCain/Palin supporters. We need some good intelligent ammo. www.GreenerPastures--ACityGirlGoesCountry.blogspot.com That post just described the crazies on this horse board that I belong to! Can I copy it and post it there?
