3. The right uses it as a scare tactic. To them, Clinton was on the far left.

7. that's why you and i get accused of being on the far left
however, in all fairness, there are certain whackjobs who have attached themselves to the left who seem hellbound to make us all look crazy

i'm almost afraid to say so but i'm fairly convinced that PETA and maybe some of the ALF people are CIA black ops, for example

it's amazing how a few crazies can turn up who are soooo skilled at obtaining publicity for doing nothing while sane voices such as john kerry are quickly shouted down by the media

it really does make you wonder

i really do think we're being manipulated
