Making sure Kerry is recognized as a left wing extremist is only 1/2 the job. Regardless of how our own extremists react, it is important that Bush be understood as a mildly right leaning centrist.

Oh and by the way, labeling Kerry as a left wing extremist is only a "smear" if he'd like to stand up and disclaim all support as a leftist. The way for him to do that would be to encourage all extreme leftists to vote Green. If he won't do that, then the must consider being called liberal a smear.
