I came across this over at J. Lileks outstanding ScreedBlog, There is a lot more to it so go read it. An excerpt:

 

At some point the adamantine skulls of the rally organizers might be penetrated by the realization that the “anti-war” cause is not served by letting the death-to-Israel crowd trot alongside, or diluting the message with a million other complaints. Middle America might have legitimate gripes with the Administration’s war policy, but they’re disinclined to side with hairy people who paint Bush as Hitler with dripping fangs. It’s like holding a rally for lower taxes and inviting the Klan: doesn’t broaden the base.

Consider the signage provided by ANSWER, an association of sclerotic collectivists, spotty anarchists and Juche enthusiasts: “US Out of Iraq, Haiti, Afghanistan, Korea, Philippines, Colombia, Cuba!” Yes, Haiti! No blood for – for whatever they have. Skinny chickens. No blood for Gristly Poultry! Of course, it goes without saying that ANSWER would want the US out of Afghanistan; they didn’t want the Taliban overthrown in the first place, especially if the US Imperial War Machine did the overthrowing. Better to let the Taliban drop stones on gays than give Bush something to smirk about.

 

I wish I had said it first but props to Lileks.

I was also hoping you'd respond to my pointing out that the Right gives Moore plenty of attention to, it's not just the so-called "liberal media."

Again, every movement has baggage, or those that are on the fringes on either side, they can often be positive because they help create a balanced middle of leadership.

Yes, the right does give Moore attention, much like when you wrinkle your nose while passing a dead skunk and say, "Ooh, now that stinks!" ;~D
