#1 "You guys are complete idiots."

That sums it up entirely.

#2 They're not idiots. They're fascists. There was a great comment on NRO in the last couple of weeks comparing the nutroots to the Nazis -- not necessarily in what they believe, but in how they believe.

Grandiose conspiracy theories? Check.

Insistence on ideological purity, on threat of ostracism and transformation into "one of THEM"? Check.

Threats and intimidation against "THEM"? Check.

If ABC doesn't do enough to satisfy the nutroots, what'll they do next?

And more importantly (IMHO), what do the rest of us do in reaction? Do we support the targets of the nutroots? Do we punish the people and companies who bow to the nutroots?

We can sure as hell hope that when -- no longer if, IMHO -- the nutroots head outside the law the authorities take it more seriously than they have in the past.
