I haven't felt the need to excuse the remarks and stand by them. 100%. The radical 1-2% of the base is trying for classic over-reaching and it's not a pretty sight. It's humorless and petty and at times, what with the name calling of the First Lady a whore and worse, it's ugly.

I see, and you're a much better person for calling everyone else in the thread who disagrees with you a member of the Taliban and a Bible thumper. I didn't see anyone chopping peoples heads off or shooting women in a stadium. Your comments were just as ugly. If you hate it from other people, don't dish it out. The hypocricy on this thread turns the stomach. You all talk about the "extremist fringe" who have different moral values than yourselves. Do your really think the majority think Christians are the Taliban? YOU are the extremist fringe.

The Taliban believes in rigid control of women. So do the radical extremists on the right. They were offended that Laura even got UP to talk. At all. Little Woman should have just stayed in her seat and smiled.

Do your really think the majority think Christians are the Taliban?

It's not Christians; it's the few who believe that they and only they are the "real, true" Christians.

And I do think a majority of the people at this web site are uncomfortable with the most strident of the lot.

YOU are the extremist fringe.

Sure. Right.
