How many people were going after Moore on FR? Were there lots of people expressing sympathies with Morris Dees et al?

Oh, and once again, what is this "overlapping amendments" stuff you mentioned in an earlier post. I'm deadly curious to know exactly the source and nature of this foolishness. :-)

I was pretty much in the thick of it. I'd say maybe 25% were against Moore. Of course they disavowed any connection to the unholy alliance partners they were allied with.

There seemed to be an undertone of resentment against Protestant Right Wing Christians(especially of the Southern variety) from the usual suspects including some atheists, libertarians, lapsed Catholics etc.

It should be noted though that quite a few Catholic and Jewish freepers supported Moore.

The usual slurs that we are Talibanesque and that the founders were all Diests ( blatant lie) etc.

They harped on the fact that Moore is an opportunist which he is as would anyone who has taken up the guantlet he has. They also despised Reverend Kennedy ..a quite conservative pastor from Florida with Coral Ridge Ministries and who is backing Moore to a degree because Kennedy has a his sermons televised on Sundays.... I like Kennedy and Stanley and Graham the elder and younger...all of whom use television. That does not make them Benny Hinn by default.

There were arguments that the 10th and 14th amendments trump the specific language of the 1st...that sort of thing.
