I guess it's official. We're extremists. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaangerous extremists. I know it's true because Joe Conason said it.

"Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice.." - Barry Goldwater

I resent the term 'extremist' though. FR is full of all stripes of political views, some moderates, some Bushbots, some paleocons, some neocons, some Christian Conservatives, some free traders, some close-the-borders types, some libertarians, some plain-ol' Reagan Republicans like myself ... pegging the whole crowd as extremists is just like the liberals, doing what they used to call "McCarthyism".

Conason's the extremist. And an attack dog. Either the Swift boat vets allegations have merit or they do not. If they have no merit, ad hominem attacks arent needed. If they have merit, ad hominem attacks are irrelevent, since it is Kerry who was running on his Vietnam service. Clearly much of the swift boat claims have some merit, especially pointing out his anti-war testimony.
