		<description>Mike Allen is a media whore who is like chicken little.....always running around yelling that the sky is falling.....this guy sets my gaydar waaaay off the chart every time I see him.   He was always so reverential in his tone with Bush, Cheney, Rice, etc.

I do know for a fact, that he was despised by most of the people when he worked for Time, Inc., because he was a creapy, little gossip.</description>

		<description>Why not send a letter to Mike &amp; let you now how please you are at his &quot;nonpartisan&quot; newsgathering?  Here&#039;s mine:

Dear Mike:

Gee whiz, Mike, I&#039;m a real American, I live outside the beltway, &amp; those right-wing, para-military extremists scare the beejeezus out of me. I&#039;m sure glad somebody&#039;s watching them.  
 
As you know, the data for the extremism report leaked this week were gathered during the leftist-commie Bush Administration. 
 
BTW, where were you when the report on leftist extremist groups came out? Please point me to the articles you wrote &amp; interviews you gave about Bush-Cheney &quot;fantasies&quot; (your word) about what goes on at San Francisco soirees &amp; Vermont sugar-maple tapping bacchanales.

Fresh sh!t sandwich, freshly prepared by backedup.&lt;/strong&gt;

Ralph is spot-on for calling you out on being disingenuous.  You prove so time and again by your constant twists of &quot;logic.&quot;  A good example so far in this post is comparing the rhetoric that McCain&#039;s supporters engaged in with the criticism and rhetoric directed towards Bush as equivalent and you couldn&#039;t be more wrong.  Bush had ample time to establish his agenda during the first Presidency without much criticism at all - especially not the serialized criticisms leveled against Obama by FAUX News.  Failure after failure led the MAJORITY of American&#039;s to criticize Bush, but the chorus that wants to demonize Obama less than a quarter of a year into his first term is in another league.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Extremism is a term used to describe the actions or ideologies of individuals or groups outside the perceived political center of a society; or ...&lt;/blockquote&gt;

wikipedia.  It&#039;s only subjective because it depends on the perception of what is the political center.

To a prolifer, Roe v. Wade may be considered an extremist ruling.  To a pacifist, the killing of the Somolia pirates may seem an extremist action.  To a Christian, the idea of atheism may seem extremist.  And vice versa.  It&#039;s dependant on the judgement of those making the charge of extremism and where they perceive the political center to be.</description>

Actually, that&#039;s already happened.  Remember last year, that man(forgot his name) went into a Universalist church and shot up the place, killing people.
He admitted it was a hate crime, he hates liberals. His home had books by Hannity, Savage, et al.
The hate-mongers on the radio like Limpdick, etc, should be arrested and charged as accessories to homicide.</description>
