The people on the extremes are rarely the ones who run for public office, and if they are on the extreme it is an even less chance they succeeding in obtaining public office.


Therefore his comment is somehow correct? I bet the KKK and Black Panthers tend to vote fairly solidly with one or the other party, I've no use for either and will not be held morally accountable for their acts or statements nor hold others to be simply because they pulled the same lever in the voting booth. Extremists run for nominations all the time, gov't or party offices.

You Issac modified the original poster response by say pointing out the politicians who support this, when the original poster was pointing out political supporters.


Wrong, I, Isaac included party office with that in mind. And he only said 'this group', what group was he then referring to?

These are two different groups, my response to you was stating while it may be hard to find politicians who advocate for murder of abortion doctors, it is very easy to find politicians who purposefully call these abortion doctors murderers in order to rally support with with the political supporters. A subtle change in language (or to put in your words "rhetoric games";), allowing them to court both the extreme political supporters and the more moderate people.


You may choose to look at it that way, as much as I dislike PETA I do not accuse them of supporting the murder of human beings who eat meat or regard their statements as deliberate courting of homicidal animal rights sorts. We also have politicians who compare cuts in programs to murder or abuse all the time. I do not personally approve of that kind of comment, and I do not consider that original post to be saying such, and if you want to object to those kind of comments, you should do it with an even brush and aim it at someone who actually uses that rhetoric themselves.
