Reply #3: I really like this

Especially after watching Rachel Maddow last night (it's a rarity for me to watch any cable political affairs show, even hers) which was a fascinating study of the GOP Southern Strategy in 1964 and after and comparison with today's Republican strategy, both appealing to the hatred of an extremist minority in a way that will cement that vote in their favor. I really like that JK is speaking to the mainstream here, reminding Americans that we don't have to go down that extremist path, that it's not who we really are and not what we really believe. He grounds it in his own experience as the target of GOP extremists, which no one would deny. I like how it complements the upcoming Stewart/Colbert rally in DC, too! Hey, anyone here going to that? I know I'll be setting my recorder for CSPAN that day!
