Oh my.  And *others* should get a grip, as you say?

By the way, publicdomain, you know nothing of *ALL* P-listers (a few
hundred, I believe), so your assertion that "there are no Bush supporters on
the list" is as gross an exaggeration as an assertion that the list is
nothing BUT neofascists, et al.  The only P-listers for whom you may know
any political leanings are those who choose to post them to the list (and
that's assuming you are interpreting their political views correctly, which
may or may not always be the case for any of us).  Admit it, your
overgeneralization makes you look foolish.

I'll produce one Bush supporter on the list when YOU prove to me that there
is NOT ONE on the list. Can you do it?

Didn't think so.  Empty rhetoric behind anonymity.

And a "super-patriot" is not quite a neofascist, I'm afraid.  My grandfather
loading his front porch with American flags post 9/11 is a far cry from a
technician for the advancement of a genetic superpower.  As you say, get a
grip.

Best,

Tim
