Genie, it strikes me that there are a couple of people here who didn't read that article very carefully. Or who aren't bothering to think before they lip off. But then, that seems to be chronic with them.

". . . better ridiculing people who are rightly angry. I've listened to these folks on TV and they dont seem like 'extremists' to me. . . ."

Hmm. . . .   "Rightly angry?" If these folks are not extremisits (carrying firearms to demonstrations, stomping on the heads of people they disagree with, other amusing little pecadilloes like that), I wonder what this individual would regard as "extremists," then!??
