re: #94 tradewind

The same way the Democrats denounced Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan.
Check.

Once the DNC stopped granting those folks the spotlight and shoved them into the closet, they started winning elections again. They lost in 2002 and 2004 because the loons you mention, and others, were front-and-center in the national attention.

The credit for that shift belongs to Howard Dean, who recognized that allowing the flaming assholes to dominate the stage was costing the party dearly at the polling booth.

The GOP is repeating exactly the same mistakes, without a hint of having learned from their opposition.
