All that proves is that there are intollerant extremists on both sides 
of the fence.

*sigh*  here we go again, attempting to insinuate that communists are 
evil, and that anyone who isn't supporting President Bush is:
1) a terrorist
2) a socialist
3) a communist

$DEITY forbid that alternative viewpoints are allowed to exist without 
ridicule.
