As Iowans headed to the polls Tuesday, the Huffington Post made a last-second bid to sway them by suggesting Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst's pro-Second Amendment convictions could be "designed to appeal" to "extremists."
Perhaps not surprisingly, this suggestion came at that same time that Ernst and the rest of America awoke to see that her lead over pro-gun control candidate Bruce Braley (D) growing.
According to HuffPo, Enrst said, "I believe in the right to carry, and I believe in the right to defend myself and my family--whether it's from an intruder, or whether it's from the government, should they decide that my rights are no longer important."(continued)

I guess Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, George Washington, Ben Franklin, and all of the other founding fathers were “extremists.”

That’s funny. I do not see a lot of pro choice people being attracted to her.

Freedom is not, and never will be, extreme. Control is extreme. Desiring to control someone's life, for whatever reason, that is extreme. ~ Aaron Libby

Enrst said, "I believe in the right to carry, and I believe in the right to defend myself and my family--whether it's from an intruder, or whether it's from the government, should they decide that my rights are no longer important."That's only extreme to a totalitarian like Stalin or Mao.

Not only that... extremists find her to be “really attractive” and think she “sounds nice”.

Pot calling the kettle black, isn’t every stance of the Huffandpuff post an appeal to extremists? But then only a communist rag would consider those who treasure the Second Amendment extremists.

The US Constitution has always been extreme to moonbat liberals.
They worship government control of people’s lives at all costs. They are the plantation dwellers and will not rest until everybody is on that plantation, or they’re dead.

We’ve got all those “extreme” sports and “extreme” athletes out there. I appreciate the communists referring to me as an extremist. Makes an old guy feel young again.

HRH George III thought Jefferson, Adams, Washington, and Franklin were extremists too.
