By not standing up to people who rant you are implying that it is acceptable to you.

Sorry, you are possibly right. But, when you are passionate about an issue, you ignore the side elements to get to the "meat" of the subject. I have countered and countered those trashing the Bushes, but it becomes time-consuming and tiresome. I spend far too much time on this as it is - but I am really upset with what I see happening from at least 10 different areas.

So many to counter - have to just center on the ones promoting the killing.

I appreciate that you have stood up to the more radical posters and comments. But it is getting almost impossible to distance one's self from such people. As long as their voice is the loudest, they will continue to dissuade rather then persuade. Perhaps the fact that we are even posting on this thread, while such comments swirl around us, is enabling them too. We need to go out and work in our own states. I've done that for many years for many pro-life and other causes. I've seen some movements destroyed by the extreme radical participants. Let us hope this doesn't become the case here.
